Pierre de Saillon from Switzerland in Victorian hotwells spa

Hello. Does anyone knows of the existance of a beautiful and rare Swiss marble used to decorate parts of the Hotwells spa and other buildings in the 1890's, a stone from in a village in Valais called Saillon.

There was an article in the western Daily Press of the 1st December 1892 that seem to confirms this.
Does it still exist and is there any photographs of it anywhere?
I am Swiss but live in Bristol. My sister lives in that village in Switzerland
