Akbar International Marble Agra

We always set aside time for shopping!  Yet it seems its never enough!  🙂 We went to a marble store because we were feeling a high after visiting the Taj Mahal 🙂

There are workers there exhibiting and showing how they make the inlaid of the marble

The pieces are so tiny!!!

This is the mark on the finger due to the heavy engraving being done to the marble

the store!! 

You can use these stones depending on how creative you are – table top is the usual but you can use them on walls, as cheese boards, as stands, etc etc

They show you how transluscent the marble is by putting a flashlight or light bulb under

Showing off their pieces

James acting like he knows how to check the inlaid with a magnifying glass! 🙂  

Lucky elephant in marble!!!

The mini version of the Taj but not in marble – it is in Alabaster

I actually bought a small version which I will put on top of a box ( I still have to buy a nice box )  and I am going to copy Shah Jahan and Mumtaz Mahal – I want my ashes and my husband’s ashes to be under the Taj!! I am serious 🙂  My sister was laughing at me when i told her about this idea
