Not illustrated. 1904 Excerpt: ...the time of the Emperor Justinian in the 6th century, and a company was, formed in 1896 (the Verde Antico Mining Co., capital 20,000), to work these famous quarries. It is believed that the columns of St. Sophia, Constantinople, and the decorations in St. Mark's, Venice, were obtained from these quarries.
