Stone slabs, and systems and methods of forming slabs, are described. Some example slabs include a first pattern defined by a first particulate mineral mix and a second pattern defined by a second particulate mineral mix different from the first particulate mineral mix. Locations of the first pattern have a first average thickness perpendicular to the slab width and the slab length, and locations of the second pattern have a second average thickness perpendicular to the slab width and the slab length that is different from the first average thickness.
Stone slabs, and systems and methods of forming slabs, are described. Some example slabs include a pattern defined by a particulate mineral mix having a low crystalline silica content.

The subject matter of this specification can be embodied in, among other things, a method of finishing a stone slab that includes receiving a stone slab having a major top surface having a first surface finish, and applying a second surface finish, different from the first surface finish, to modify a portion of the major top surface that is less than an entirety of the major top surface.
This document describes systems and processes for forming stone slabs, which may be suitable for use in living or working spaces (e.g., along a countertop, table, floor, shower surrounds, tiles, or the like). In some embodiments, the stone slabs may be processed by partially filling a mold with a particulate mineral mix, and preparing a top surface of the particulate mineral mix to received one or more additional materials.

This document describes systems and processes for forming stone slabs, which may be suitable for use in living or working spaces (e.g., along a countertop, table, floor, shower surrounds, tiles, or the like). In some embodiments, the stone slabs may be processed by partially filling a mold with a particulate mineral mix, and preparing a top surface of the particulate mineral mix to received one or more additional materials.

Stone slabs, and systems and methods of forming slabs, are described. Some example slabs include a first pattern defined by a first particulate mineral mix and a second pattern defined by a second particulate mineral mix different from the first particulate mineral mix. The first particulate mix includes greater than 50 weight percent of first metallic particles.
C04B 26/10 - Composés macromoléculaires obtenus autrement que par des réactions faisant intervenir uniquement des liaisons non saturées carbone-carbone
C04B 40/00 - Procédés, en général, pour influencer ou modifier les propriétés des compositions pour mortiers, béton ou pierre artificielle, p. ex. leur aptitude à prendre ou à durcir
C04B 41/53 - Post-traitement des mortiers, du béton, de la pierre artificielle ou des céramiquesTraitement de la pierre naturelle impliquant l'enlèvement d'une partie des matières de l'objet traité
Stone slabs, and systems and methods of forming slabs, are described. Some example slabs include a first pattern defined by a first particulate mineral mix and a second pattern defined by a second particulate mineral mix different from the first particulate mineral mix. Locations of the first pattern have a first average thickness perpendicular to the slab width and the slab length, and locations of the second pattern have a second average thickness perpendicular to the slab width and the slab length that is different from the first average thickness.
