stone stairs
Carved granite ascent
Stone stairs are steps made of stone, typically granite, limestone, marble, or slate.
The phrase emphasizes the material rather than the structure—stairs become stone stairs when their solidity, permanence, or aesthetic matters: The stone stairs to the cathedral had been worn smooth by centuries of pilgrims.
Stone stairs suggest age, grandeur, or durability compared to wood or metal alternatives.
