A stone is a naturally occurring solid made of minerals that forms through geological processes such as cooling magma, sediment compaction, or mineral crystallization. Stones vary in composition, texture, and size, and they are fundamental components of the Earth's crust. They are used in construction, decoration, and tools, and can be classified into types like igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic. Stones are recognized for their durability and natural beauty, making them valuable in various practical and artistic applications.
