It was created by the Geonosian species of the planet Geonosis, who made it by mixing stone powder with the secretions of domesticated phidna parasites, including their dung.Star Wars: Absolutely Everything You Need to Know The paste provided a smooth finish to surfaces, and Geonosians used it to fashion their buildings and spires, with rock paste also being mixed with phidna waste to create architecture that pleased Geonosian rulers.Star Wars: The Complete Visual Dictionary, New Edition
