Don ,

I agree with Fred, one other thing you may want to look at was the stone set in white setting materials or was it set in gray setting materials. This could be the gray starting to bleed through the stone, but more likely is a mold problem. this could be coming from the wall behind the stone, is the stoen on cement board or green board or plain drywall. If this is mold coming from behind the stone I would probably walk. This sounds like it going to be problem waiting for someone to open the can of worms!!!

Yes have seen this before..and yes mold can grow on, in and under stone. It can be tricky to fix since you need to get bleach or peroxide down to where the mold is. The main problem is that once the spores are there they can be easily reactivated and the cycle starts over again.

Pic is of poor quality but the dark splotches are, I think mold.they are everywhere. It is a steam shower, heavily damaged, looks like Botticino Classico. Questions are: Mold on marble, it can happen yes? Is it usually just surface or deeper or is test mandated.

I am probably going to walk from this due to customer looking for a bargain and the whole thing will probably cost more to fix than repair but I am interested in the mold issue.

Thanks in advance.
