Welcome to the Stone zone!

Stone is a readily available material that can be found almost all over the Earth. It is a material our ancestors used to make their tools with 2.5 million years ago. Stone has been used as a material to create art for thousands of years, for example the amazing sculptures from Ancient Greece. Have a look at some of our carved and sculpted stone objects.
