When people who work at a rock quarry, no matter where it is on earth, dig up a big chunk of rock, it is not ready for use. It is rough, it is dirty, it is normally rather huge. And no matter what kind of stone it is, someone has to take that chunk of rock and get it into a usable form. Of course, how that happens varies on the type of stone that was dug up and the process of doing that obviously differs if the stone is granite or diamonds. People who take the rough stone and turn it into something beautiful for your home décor are involved in stone fabrication, or literally making something out of the stone.
This term generally means taking granite, marble, soapstone, slate, travertine, limestone, or quartz or other such stone and getting them polished, cut to size, and ready to go into your home as your kitchen countertops , your bathroom countertops, or things like fireplace surrounds and other such decorative elements. Of course what different options you have as far as materials and finished products to choose from all depends on what stone fabrication company you choose.
Naturally, all of these materials tend to be very expensive and so generally the companies that deal with them are very careful not to waste them or let them get damaged, but some have stricter policies as to using environmental conscious materials than others and if that is an important thing to you, then you should definitely do some research before choosing a stone fabrication company. For example, cutting these stones requires huge quantities of water. How is that water treated? Is it recycled? What about the chunks of stone that are cut away from the slabs in their rough form? Is it used for something productive so that there is as least waste as possible? There are multiple techniques that companies can use to be more environmentally conscious through all of their production techniques and usually looking at their websites can give you some details of how they protect the earth as much as they possibly can, even with their jobs of quarrying beautiful stone from the ground. Of course, part of that approach should also be to not waste the beautiful stone they do produce by being sloppy or inaccurate in their cutting for consumer use.
