stone quarries

Stone quarries are large excavations where natural rock like limestone, granite, or marble is extracted from the earth. These sites involve removing layers of rock through drilling, blasting, and excavation to access the stone. The extracted material is then processed and cut into blocks or pieces used for construction, sculpture, and other building materials. Quarries are carefully managed to minimize environmental impact, and they often include pathways for transporting the stone. Overall, they play a crucial role in providing the raw materials needed for various architectural and artistic projects.
