Stone Materials

stone products are formulated from stone aggregate and synthetic resin matrix materials. Engineered stone is strong, nonporous, durable, and flexible. Quartz is the most common aggregate, although marble, colored glass, shells, metals, and mirrors are also used.

Stone is categorized by how it was formed.

• Sedimentary rock consists of compressed deposited sediment.

• Igneous rock is formed from molten magma.

• Metamorphic rock is created by subjecting rock to new conditions

of temperature and pressure.
