What are stone remnants?
Stone remnants are leftover pieces from larger slabs, often used for smaller projects such as bathroom vanities, fireplaces, laundry counters, bar tops, and shelving.
How big is a typical stone remnant?
Remnant sizes vary widely depending on the original slab and what was cut from it. A typical remnant might range from a few square feet up to roughly 20–30 square feet. That is often enough for a bathroom vanity, fireplace surround, or small countertop section. Always confirm exact dimensions with the seller before purchasing.
