Have put in a new marble floor, but some of the marble tile have cracks and need to remove them.
Problem is that when I remove one, it cracks all the other marble tile around it.
This is a new floor and it is over concrete that was levelled.
HELP PLEASE

This is a new question and is supposed to be a separate post but I will leave that to the experts.

The only comment I have on the marble problem is--are you removing the grout from between the tiles completely, before attempting to break up the cracked tile. You may even have to remove the adhesive that connects the tiles all the way down to the concrete, to try and stop the shock from travelling to the other tiles. I think there are small grinders you can use for this task. Why are the tile cracking. I hope the levelled concrete isn't on an inadequate base.
