Stone quarryingNatural stone is a collective name for thousands of different types of stone, found and quarried throughout the world. The appearance and the characteristics ofnatural stone are determined by the manner in which the stone was formed: by rivers, by volcanoes, by tectonic folding (mountains). Each natural stone is unique,because no two places on earth have precisely the same geological composition or experience or precisely the same geological forces. This means that natural stoneof the same type can also differ widely.Stones come in different finishes: polished, honed or textured as well as in many varied sizes. Natural Stone is basically cut from the earth's rocks - it is a naturalproduct that will always vary in shades, veining etc. Depending on which part of the quarry the manufacturer is cutting from.The process of quarrying Natural Stone is carried out by different methods and equipment, such as hand tools, explosives, or power saws. Channelling and wedgingare also used depending on the end-purpose for which the natural stone is extracted. Hand tools alone may be used for quarrying natural stone that lies in easilyaccessible beds. 3 STONE QUARRYING

TRAVERTINE Travertine Travertine is related to marble, actually falling somewhere between marble and limestone in terms of its development over thousands of years. By the time it is quarried, travertine is naturally beautiful – a smooth, dense stone that exhibits a notable creamy colour that evokes a certain old-world refinement. Commonly found in Italy and Turkey, travertine remains to be a popular import for construction products all over the world, including South Africa. Travertine is dominated by beige and neutral colours and epitomizes the look and texture of natural stone. The stone is a smooth and very hard substance further characterized by its porous surface. *Natural Stone Tiles are a product of nature.
