Abstract:
1. A inlaid stone assembly comprising: a stone body including spaced apart elongated sections that cooperatively present an elongated body edge surface, said stone body presenting longitudinally extending opposed side surfaces fixed relative to one another, with the opposed side surfaces projecting transversely relative to the body edge surface and cooperatively defining an elongated slotted opening between the sections; and an elongated stone inlay presenting opposite longitudinally extending inlay side surfaces, said elongated stone inlay being inserted transversely into the slotted opening of the stone body while the side surfaces are fixed relative to one another, said opposed side surfaces and at least part of said inlay side surfaces being complementally shaped so that the inserted stone inlay is frictionally fitted to the stone body, with the inlay side surfaces being in abutting frictional engagement with the opposed side surfaces to cooperatively restrict removal of the stone inlay from the stone body.
