No. you don't cut stone with fire. That is just plain stupid. You cut marble with diamond tipped blades or with water jets.
Marble is strong enough for paving, if it is thick enough. Usually I specify travertine marble in the landscapes I design. When I design a marble paved area that is to be sand-set in a residential setting, the marble has to be at least 1-1/2 inches thick, and ideally 2" thick, otherwise it will be too thin and will crack. I also make sure to purchase high quality marble directly from an importer that provides quality stone. Even if the stone is from the same quarry, some marble is of higher quality than other stone. If the marble is thinner, it must be set onto a reinforced concrete slab and mortar set.
