Natural stones for domestic use have existed for ages, long before man-made materials were mass produced, as I'm sure you are all aware.

Some examples date back up to 9,000 years ago, when natural stones in some form were initially used for construction after being unearthed. A group of dwellings constructed with horizontal layers of closely fitting stone slabs was discovered at a location in Scotland that dates back to roughly 3000 BC. Since there weren't many trees in this area of Scotland, stones were used to their advantage. Natural stones were used to make even the furniture in these houses.

Some of these ancient buildings still stand today because the Neolithic settlement in Western Europe considered the use of stone in construction to be a significant architectural innovation as early as 4200 BC. Natural stone has long been regarded as a crucial building raw material, both historically and currently.
