“When Pope Leo X commissioned Michelangelo Buonarroti to make the facade of San Lorenzo basilica in Florence, Michelangelo left his workshop and hastily ventured of to the steep slopes of the Apuan Alps to find the best marble befitting the work at hand. The great master was well aware of the fact that using stone was no easy task and so, to avoid any unpleasant surprises, he preferred to choose the marble himself, even before it was taken from quarry. Hence, the choice of dimension stone for architectural purpose is an age-old problem. It is true that an artist must know the characteristics of the material he/she is using, yet since Renaissance times the choice of dimension stone has become more difficult, and even Buonarroti would probably have had problems today.”
