I just bought a 20 ft container of marble blocks. The shipping to Boston cost more than the product. The whole thing cost me less than $1500 though. I can literally build a garden shed out of marble for less than I can hire someone locally to build one out of wood.
 
don't worry, I'm sure they managed some way to get some lead in there. you're probably already as good as dead
 
Are you seriously planning to build a shed out of marble blocks? Have fun when that thing caves in on you and you're buried under marble.
 
Marble blocks for a shed? Who are you Liberace? How are you going to make doors & roof and attach them?

I'm prolly just gonna mess around with stonehenge-style antics. Or maybe i'll give marble carving a shot...

One of the sources I talked to will make museum-quality reproductions for filthy cheap. They'll even recreate the original artists tool marks. For a marble bust of Homer like the one in the British Museum, I was quoted $300 USD, FOB China. They're sending me a fiberglass mockup for $75, shipped via DHL. 😀
 
Well gl drilling in marble and planting any fasteners will prove problematic. That's why it's used on floors not load bearing walls.
