    Stone is a natural, hard material formed from minerals and rocks in the earth's crust, whereas rock has no definite shape. Stone can be used for foundations, walls, facings, buildings, roads, bridges, and heat and chemical resistant purposes. The quality of stone depends on its appearance, structure, strength, weight, hardness, toughness, porosity, weathering, workability, fire resistance, and specific gravity. Deterioration of stone can occur from rain, frost, wind, temperature changes, plant growth, decay, and chemicals. Artificial stone is made from cement and natural aggregates like crushed stone and sand. Granite, gneiss, trap, sandstone, limestone, marble, quartz

    Differences:Stone is natural, hard substance formed from minerals and earth material which are

    present in rocks. Rock is the portion of the earth's crust having no definite shape and structure.

    Generally used as blocks that are furthermore used for slavs, facing structures, windows and other
    purposes. Can also be used for decoration.

    Uses of stones:Foundation and wall items, Facing and architectural items, Building items, Road
    construction items, Underground structures and bridges, Heat and chemicallly resistant items.

    Characteristics of good stone:Appearance, Structure, Strength, Weight, Hardness, Toughness,


    Porosity and absorption, Weathering, Workability, Fire resistance, Specific gravity.

    Deterioration of stone:Rain, Frost, Wind, Temprature changes, Vegitable growth, Mutual decay,
    Chemical agents.

    Artificial stone is made with cement and natural aggregates of the crushed stone and sand.

    For structural purposes, Granite, gnelss, trap, sandstone, limestone, marble, quartzite and slate are
    mostly used.
