xyz: "It NOT CHEROKEE WHITE .it is gold veined GEORGIAN WHITE ......You make a fuss about it , but you don't even know its real name ... ironic and tragic."

I was quoting verbatim from the second paragraph of today's Spec story. The story at top may well have been quoting verbatim from the second paragraph in a Spec story from late March: http://www.thespec.com/article/537935

These descriptions are backed up by a story in Time Magazine Nov 21, 1960 edition, when the author writes: "When Roscoe ordered city hall's façade built out of Cherokee white marble imported from Georgia, local limestone dealers got the city hall committee to cancel the order."

The distinction is arguably moot. Cherokee White marble is quarried in Georgia, and can accurately be described as Georgian White marble, though the inverse does not necessarily hold true.
