What is Dimension Stone? Geologists classify rocks according to their mineral composition.
However, the dimension stone industry classifies stone based on appearance
and hardness as either "granite", "marble" or "slate".
The granite of the dimension-stone industry along with truly granitic rock also
includes gneiss, gabbro, anorthosite and even some sedimentary rocks.
Uses for granite include architectural stone (construction, flooring,
cladding, counter tops, curbing, etc.), raw block and monument stone for
the funerary trade.
Travertine, alabaster, calcareous stones and virginite are all classified as marble
and are typically used for interior flooring, facing stone and monument stone.
Slate, depending upon the quality, is used for roofing, flooring, architectural
construction and landscaping.
Dimension stone is any stone product which is quarried, shaped or simply selected for specific purposes, be it for construction, architectural or funerary stone.
