Stone

Generic building material

Stone is naturally occurring rock, a solid mass or aggregate of minerals or mineraloid matter, that has been quarried and shaped for use as a construction material since prehistory. Humanity has made use of rock and stone since the earliest humans lived; stone became a major component in the construction of buildings, walls, fortifications and early infrastructure across nearly every world culture before the modern era. This entity is used in the atlas when a building's own source describes its material only as generic "stone" or "stones" without naming a specific rock type, distinct from a named specific stone such as granite, limestone, marble, sandstone, slate or travertine already carried as their own entities in this atlas.
