stone slab

Heavy flat stone

A stone slab is a broad, flat piece of stone, typically thick and heavy, used in construction, paving, or as a surface for various purposes.

Slabs of stone have served as flooring, countertops, grave markers, and writing surfaces throughout human history.

The ancient temple floor was covered in polished stone slabs.

The term emphasizes the material's solidity and the piece's substantial, planar form.
