Stone Casting

a process for obtaining products made primarily from basalt (sometimes from diabase and other rocks) by remelting them at temperatures of 1350-1450°C. Cast stone is used for the manufacture of such articles as pipes, acid-resistant equipment, electrical insulators, blocks for pavements and facing plates, and artistic sculptured articles.
