Mitering limestone - Bill or Mongo please advise

15 years ago

My wife wants me to install 12 x 12 Tureks Casablanca limestone in an alcove tub surround. It has a honed finish and there is some shell in it. Can the edges of this tile be mitered to 45 degrees for the outside corners of niches?

I've mitered the edges of Crossville Empire through-body porcelain (actually made by Ilva) with good results. But I'm concerned that the softer limestone won't be as even in consistency and may fracture or crumble. Unfortunately, the supplier does not have a sample I could try cutting.
