Sand blasted finish: surface finishing process that involves exposing the surface with the use of a power machine to spray abrasive particles of siliceous sand under high pressure against a surface. It has a rough finish but gives it a smooth granular relief, it is a fine dotted base with a rough surface

Stones is also repairable, and recycable

Extraction of stone can impact the environment negatively.

Stone installation depends on the type of stone.

There are patterns of installation:
-Blend pattern: when panels are from the same stone but nor necessarily from the same block, and are randomly arranged.
-Side-slip pattern: when the used panels of stone use the same block and are placed by side creating a sequence pattern.
-End Match Pattern: when the panels of stone are inverted and placed above each other
-Book-Match Pattern: one panel next to each other

Before fabrication, comes extraction and processing which dependS on the type of stone. After it is extracted, fabricators buy big blocks of stone to cut them and polish them.

Molded and colored imitation of certain types of stone like marbite, granite, etc. These are mostly made of concrete and poured into molds, they get painted and are hold together by resins so that they look natural.

-Stone has a historical and special connection with humans, it gives it a timelessness sense when used in a space.

-It also creates a connection with nature since it is a natural resource.

-Uniqueness, since each piece of stone offers a unique story since each and every one of them is different.
