Natural Stone Types
• A rock group made up principally of the mineral serpentine (Mg, Fe)3Si2O5(OH)4. Serpentines have a greasy or silky luster, a slightly soapy feel, and a tough, conchoidal fracture; they are usually compact but may be granular or fibrous and are commonly a green or greenish gray.

Natural Stone Types
• A classic sedimentary rock composed of grains of sand size (1/16 mm to 2 mm ø) set in a matrix of silt or clay and united by a cementing material, commonly silica, iron oxide, or calcium carbonate- the sand particles are commonly quartz
