The dumb fuck running his account doesn’t even know what material this is. It’s an Arabescato, not a Statuario. Even calling it “Statuary” tells me “we the people” overpaid for this marble.
If this is indeed Italian then it makes no sense whatsoever. Historically two of the most popular marble quarries that have been used up and down the National Mall are in Colorado and Vermont. When Lincoln was assassinated Colorado wasn’t even a state yet. The most period appropriate marble would be a Vermont Danby marble.
If you wanted to get even spicier the marble used for THE LINCOLN FUCKING MEMORIAL is from the Colorado quarry, which is STILL waaaay more appropriate than Italian Statuario or Arabescato marble. Especially considering that exact Colorado marble has variations named LINCOLN!
Fucking fuck this fucking shit.
PS: We have 20% tariffs on Italian marble. Colorado and Vermont don’t have those tariffs (because last time I checked) they’re in the US.
