No. All natural stone is a direct product of nature. Natural stone is formed over millions of years within or on our earth's surface through changes in heat and pressure. It is quarried from the earth in blocks of stone, then cut into slabs. Engineered stone is inspired by nature, but it is man-made. It is manufactured in factories and made of crushed natural stone and then bound together by acrylic or polyester resins. Look out for our blog next week on how your stone countertops are created!
