They are all beautiful, and a block of any one of them would be a great decorative accent, (like a limited area of trompe l'oeil, as we discussed previously). It would be nice to know if it were possible to buy it, but maybe somebody else supplies something similiar; do you know?
I am not sure if it's possible...I'll do a little research and let you know what I find.
