The tradition of use of the natural stone in building in general is non-arguable. In the past, stone was used as the main building material. We can find momentous stone buildings originating in all ages from all over the world. Nowadays, the trends are steered towards the use of stone as a facing material. Besides the fact, that it offers infinite options in terms of color and structure, it perfectly resists the aging. Typical examples are facades, paving, staircases, sill plates or balustrades. We can further include elements of garden or city architecture, or unique pieces of art. Another specific branch contains headstones.
