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.

  • Introduction (Wikipedia article title "Rock (geology)", which states a rock is "also called a stone")
    In geology, a rock (also called a stone) is any naturally occurring solid mass or aggregate of minerals or mineraloid matter. Rocks form the Earth's outer solid layer, the crust. Humanity has made use of rocks since the time the earliest humans lived. Stone was then used as a major component in the construction of buildings and early infrastructure.
