3. Engineered stone - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engineered_stone

   Engineered stone. Engineered stone is a composite material made of crushed stone bound together by an adhesive to create a solid surface. The adhesive is most commonly polymer resin, with some newer versions using cement mix. This category includes engineered quartz (SiO 2), polymer concrete and engineered marble stone. [1]

4. Solid surface - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid_surface

   Solid surface is a non-porous low-maintenance material used for surfaces such as countertops. It can mimic the appearance of granite, marble, stone, and other naturally occurring materials, and can be joined nearly invisibly by a trained craftsman. Typically manufactured in sheet form for fabrication into finished countertops, solid surface can ...

8. I-type granite - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I-type_Granite

   I-type granite. I-type granites are a category of granites originating from igneous sources, first proposed by Chappell and White (1974). [1] They are recognized by a specific set of mineralogical, geochemical, textural, and isotopic characteristics that indicate, for example, magma hybridization in the deep crust. [2]

9. S-type granite - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S-type_granite

   Like all granites, the modal mineralogy of S-type granites are dominated by alkali - and plagioclase feldspars and quartz. Thus, S-type granites are silica over-saturated (contain quartz), and do not contain feldspathoids. An interesting feature of S-type granites, at the hand sample scale, is that alkali-feldspars are typically white in color ...
