1. A modular surfacing system comprising:
- a series of natural stone modular surfacing pieces all cut from the same natural stone block, the modular pieces securable to an external surface in a surface covering array to form a modular surfacing system, each of the modular surfacing pieces cut into any desired vertical dimensions, any desired horizontal dimensions, any desired depth dimensions, and any desired shapes with adjacent modular pieces bearing matching natural patterns and colorations of the natural stone block from which all of the modular pieces were cut, each of the pieces comprising a solid seamless modular piece cut to mate with the other modular pieces to fit within the surface covering array including solid seamless modular surface tile pieces, solid seamless modular edge rail pieces each having a surface covering portion to mate with the modular surface tile pieces and an edge overhang portion of any desired dimension and shape, and solid seamless rail corner pieces, each having a surface covering portion to mate with the modular surface tile pieces and two orthogonal edge overhang portions of any desired dimension and shape to mate with the modular edge rail pieces.

Abstract
A modular surfacing system provides solid seamless natural stone modular pieces cut from the same stone block for matching coloration and pattern. The pieces are cut into any desired sizes with wide edging of any desirable thickness and solid piece corners as well as mating modular surface tiles and mating modular backsplash tiles. Since all pieces are cut from a thick block of stone, such as marble or granite, horizontal, vertical, and depth cuts may be made of any desired length and shape to create truly matching modular pieces of any desired dimensions.
