The Icestone color that we selected is 75% recycled glass and mother of pearl shell mixed with concrete then buffed into shiny slabs. We bought it at San Rafael Tile and Marble, they are the Northern California distributor for this material, it is made in Brooklyn, New York. The type we have is called `Amber Pearl', you can learn more here: http://www.icestone.biz/May 10 Additional Note: Although we really like the look of this material, it is unlikely we would use it again. Despite being a man-made material, the slab thickness is not consistent. On the union between a couple of pieces it is noticable. Furthermore our fabricator said he would never use it again unless he charged a lot more. It took a LOT of polishing to get the surface etching cleaned up.
