Natural stone geology
Stone has been used by man for construction purposes for many thousands of years. Geology, which seeks to describe and explain these materials, is a relatively new science, having developed largely since the early 1800's. As a consequence the nomenclature employed by the construction industry is often scientifically inaccurate. The main groups of stone which are on offer from the stone industry for use in construction are as follows:
Limestone & Sandstone
Sedimentary Rocks
Slate & Marble
Metamorphic Rocks
Green Granite
An Igneous Rock

"Oh, man," is the response I get, followed by a long deep sigh, when I ask Aba at New York City´s Janovic Plaza how someone might go about getting stains out of marble.
Kitchens Pennsylvania
Slate characteristics vary with source. Domestic is typically black, green or mottled (Pennsylvania) and is relatively dense. Many imported slates are available today with wide ranging physical characteristics and overall suitability.
