natural stone
Quarried building material
Natural stone is rock quarried from the earth and used with minimal processing—granite, marble, slate, limestone, and similar materials.
It contrasts with engineered or manufactured stone, which combines crusite stone with resins.
Natural stone appears in construction, countertops, and flooring, valued for its durability and unique variations: The kitchen features natural stone countertops.
