Natural stone has been used by humans for shelter and tools since ancient times. Stone embodies environmentally friendly attributes like durability, low maintenance, and recyclability. The LEED rating system recognizes stone's environmental benefits. The document then provides details on various types of natural stones including semi-precious stone, marble, granite, Venice stone, silestone, glass, sandstone, limestone, quartzite and slate. It emphasizes that natural stone has an ecological lifecycle from extraction to installation, unlike synthetic materials.
Granite, marble, and quartz are compared in terms of their appearance, properties, and applications. Granite has a variety of colors while marble is typically white/gray with veins. Granite is stronger and harder than marble. Both granite and marble are porous stones while quartz is non-porous. Granite is more durable and resistant to acids, making it suitable for kitchens. Marble is softer and more prone to staining, so it is better for areas with less traffic like bathrooms. Granite requires less maintenance than marble.
The document discusses the four main types of rocks: minerals, igneous rocks, sedimentary rocks, and metamorphic rocks. Minerals are natural substances that make up rocks. Igneous rocks form from cooling lava or magma. Sedimentary rocks form from layers of compressed sediments. Metamorphic rocks form from pressure and heat changing other rock types. The rock cycle shows how the different rock types are related through geological processes.
This document provides information about marble and kota stone. It discusses that marble is a metamorphic rock composed of calcite or dolomite, and can be various colors due to mineral impurities. It lists physical and chemical properties of marble, as well as common uses. Kota stone is described as a fine-grained limestone used for buildings. Its chemical composition and physical properties are outlined. Advantages and disadvantages of both marble and kota stone for flooring are presented.
The document discusses sedimentary rocks, which form through the lithification of sediments. Sediments are broken down into sizes from boulders to clay and are transported, deposited, and compacted in environments like beaches, rivers, lakes and oceans. Over time, sediments are cemented together by minerals like silica and calcite to form sedimentary rocks. The main types are clastic rocks like sandstone and conglomerate formed from fragments, and chemical rocks like limestone and halite formed from mineral precipitation. Biochemical rocks like coal also form from organic material. Sedimentary structures provide clues to depositional environments.
This document provides an overview of the history of investigations into the Stampriet Artesian Basin in Namibia over the past 100 years. It describes early discoveries and studies of the basin dating back to 1912, including geological surveys and hydrogeological research conducted from the 1930s to 1980s. It also mentions more recent projects investigating groundwater resources, including an isotope study from 2002 and a groundwater model from 2005. The document contains maps, diagrams, and stratigraphic columns illustrating the geology and hydrogeology of the basin.
The document provides contact information for the head office and other offices of Vali Stones Pvt. Ltd. in India. It states that Vali Stones is a leading producer and exporter of natural stone established in 1984. It has processing centers in six Indian states and exports stone products to Europe and the Middle East. The company focuses on quality and has a large selection of granite, sandstone, limestone, and other stone varieties.
The document discusses different types of rocks including sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic rocks. It describes how sedimentary rocks are formed through processes like compaction and cementation of sediments. Igneous rocks are formed by the cooling and solidification of magma either below or above the ground. Metamorphic rocks are formed from existing rocks that undergo heat and pressure, changing their texture and composition. Different rock types are classified based on characteristics like mineral composition, texture, and formation process.

Stone is the natural construction material par excellence: man
has dealt with it from his origins, producing weapons, tools,
trinkets, but also building shelters and fences for his protection.
Natural Stone embodies earth-friendly attributes:
• an enduring life-cycle
• durability
• ease of care and maintenance
• recyclability
The LEED rating system substantiates stone as a natural choice
in Green Building, as it possesses environmental benefits.
3. Semi-Precious
Semiprecious Stone
The collection mixes the eternal beauty of
the natural semiprecious stones, fossils and
petrified wood to create the unusual solid
surface with the most elegant and most
extraordinary designs. The Semiprecious
Stone Collection, leads to the same
materials traditionally used in jewellery,
such as quartz, amethyst, the agate
and jasper. The series consists of eleven
different colours and finishes that blend
seamlessly with the finest materials from
nature.
5. Marble
Marble is a crystalline rock
which originated as limestone around 60
to 600 million years ago, which is why it
can only be found in the oldest strata of
the Earth. The soft calcium combines with
carbonic acid to form the salt calcium
carbonate, from which many rock masses
are created. Through metamorphosis, this
calcium carbonate turns into marble.
Metamorphosis is a true chemical and
physical wonder of Mother Nature,
who, deep down in her crust, manages
to convert solid rock at unimaginably
high pressure and temperature levels.
Nevertheless, it does not melt: its structure
changes and crystallizes. Marble as we
know it is cut from the ground in large
blocks, sawn into slices - known as slabs
- and subjected to a meticulous finishing
process to unveil beautiful, glossy slabs
and tiles in an endless range of colours
and patterns. Obviously, each piece
is completely unique - every marble
panel looks slightly different. And always
completely natural: after all, marble is the
epitome of natural stone.
12. Granite
Granite is a Magmatic intrusive rock,
with an acid chemism, made up of quartz,
potassic feldspar, plagioclase, mica and
accessory minerals. A compact rock, which
is strong and can be polished, whose
hardness exceeds the values of 4 / 4.5
on the Mohs scale. Commercially, the
term includes almost all magmatic rock. It
has been used as a building material for
many centuries. Granite is an igneous rock
formed by volcanic activity, which strength
approaches that of diamonds. Granite has
been used for centuries, the main objective
for any granite purchase should be to fall
in love with the colour. Granite may not be
the right choice for you colour wise, pick
something that you can look at everyday
and not regret the decision. To help
aid our customers in choosing the right
colour of granite for their project we have
created our very own Granite Catalogue.

Silestone is the world leader of
engineered quartz surfaces. 94% of
Silestone is natural quartz, one of the most
resistant to heat, abrasion, absorption and
staining.
Silestone Quartz Colours:
Silestone´s quartz countertops are
available in over 60 colours and different
finishes. Find the Silestone Colour you
need. There is an infinite number of ways to
combine these quartz colours and these
in turn offer endless artistic and functional
possibilities
Silestone Antibacterial:
P+ is the symbol that represents the
combination of technology and service
behind Silestone. This continually inhibits
the growth of microorganisms and harmful
bacteria which may be on the surface.

28. • Glass
Sandstone is a classic sedimentary
stone, made up primarily from fragments
of detritus and mineral granules, having
dimensions between 1/16 mm and 2 mm.
There are a great number of types of
sandstone, depending on the genesis,
structure and composition: eolianite, arkose
(feldspathic-quartz sandstones) and lithic
arenites (which may also be calcareous
containing calcite or aragonite), etc.
• Sandstone
30. • Limestone
Limestone is a type of hard
sedimentary rock used in building materials.
An interesting fact about limestone is
when it is completely pure the colour is
white. When limestone combines with other
elements the colour changes to any colour
in the rainbow. Limestone is calcareous
rock in the widest sense. In Anglo-Saxon
nomenclature this term is often used
to distinguish a non-crystalline marble
(namely a calcareous stone = limestone)
from a crystalline marble (metamorphic
stone = marble).
Quartzite is a metamorphic stone, 80%
of which is made up of quartz, which is
often easy to split into slabs or sheets.
Slate is a fine grained, foliated,
metamorphic rock which splits along its
parallel cleavage plains. The vast range
of colours is derived from the minerals
contained in the shale from which it was
formed.
• Quartzite
• SIate
32. NATURAL STONE
AND THE GREEN FACTOR
Over and above its indisputable historical
and ethical value, natural stone, by definition,
conserves a characteristic that other synthetic or
partially artificial products do not possess: the green
ingredient. Increasing numbers of products are being
erroneously labelled as “natural”, misinterpreting the
deeper meaning of the term, which has a completely
ecological connotation. Contrary to buildings
constructed with synthetic materials, architecture
realised with natural stone is the point of arrival
of an entirely ecological path of development,
which starts with the phase of extraction
of the raw material, continuing with its
processing and winding up with
its installation.
