Help / Suggestions sourcing a stone sink (in the UK)

[flibberflops]

Hi,
I wonder if anyone could help me source somewhere in the UK that I could get the type of stone sink that I have been searching the internet for months now.... obviously with no luck. It really does seem to be mission impossible!

All the stone sinks available seem to have square cuts to make the top edge completely flat. Here is an example of the sinks I can find (with the clinical cut edge) that I don't want....

What i am after is something more natural, like the two examples below...

Does anybody know of a UK retailer that does something like this?

All you need to do is use the basin in the first image and knock the top rim off it with a club hammer.

Back to looking natural again.

Seriously though you will pay a small fortune for stuff like that.
Becoming very popular now in new builds.

If it is becoming very popular in new builds, how come I can't find anywhere selling them?

I'm referring to stone in general.
What you aquire is not exactly a basin but a piece of artwork which will be totally unique to your home.
Just keep googling.
Your other option is "commission" a piece from a stone sculptor/artisian.

And then take out a second mortgage to pay for it.
