Stone guy here. Sure we are running out of some marble and really nice /popular families of stone, but... We are not going to run out of granite for a looooong time. Literally the planet is made of it.

Only in the last 20 years are we seeing Brazil and China enter the game with quartzite and granite of their own, it's the rare Italian marble that will disappear soon. I know guys who have A frames of Italian slabs in storage as a hedge for the future.

MDF and "premium" decorative plastic vineer; the more things change the more they stay the same.

We will never run out of marble. It's metamorphosed limestone, it's created all over the planet, and is just as plentiful as granite. Even Carrara, the widely sought after marble, is plentiful - if you can get to it. People say the Carrara fields are mined out, but scientists say there could be massive deposits thousands of feet high - but you have to dig to them. They have no idea how much of the finer marbles exist on teh planet, and the "good stuff" can form anywhere. You just have to find it, cut it, and ship it in a way that's profitable, and if the environmentalists don't throw tantrums opening up new quarries.
