Stone

Stone, or rock, is any solid material composed of a mass of geological minerals.Jenner, Jan, et al., eds. (2008). "Weathering and Soil". Focus on Earth Science – California. Boston: Pearson Education, Inc., pp. 42–81. Due to its hardness, it became a common building material, resource, and trade good throughout human history. While some small stones can be used for buildings, often times a special type of mine known as a quarry is built to facilitate the removal of large building materials.Assassin's Creed: Origins Those working with stone are commonly called stonemasons.
