Digest 420 Selecting natural building stones
Publication Year
1997
Document Status

Abstract
The variability of stone is not restricted to colour and texture. Wide variations in durability and other properties may also be encountered. Unlike colour and texture, durability is difficult to define and even more difficult to measure. This Digest summarises tests that can be applied to natural building stone.
