Book Description
Indian decorative and dimensional stones are very popular in several countries. India earlier occupied the coveted first position in the decorative and dimensional stone industry. However presently India has slipped to the third position among stone producing countries in the world. This is mainly due to unscientific methods of mining. Bad quality outputs. Short term pollcies of local governments. Competition from other stone producing countries etc. The success of the commercial stone industry solely depends upon the availability of defect-free raw materials. In selected instances enterpreneurs with commercial zeal took leases of quarries exploited initially and abandoned midway due to bad quality rock deposit. In India many organizations and individuals are investing in the natural stone industry with very little or no knowledge of scientific aspects of natural rocks.
