Though mixtures and casting techniques vary be- tween manufacturers,
cast stone
is generally made from a mixture of finely graded aggregates such as
limestone, marble, granite and quartz, silica sand, and a bonding agent.
Extremely durable and versa- tile, it is available in any color and can closely
repli- cate a wide range of
natural stones
including lime- stone, bluestone, slate, granite, travertine and mar- ble.
The mantels shown here are superb examples of the cast stone maker's art.
Available in virtually every traditional style and numerous contemporary styles,
they are as close as you can get to nature, i.e., natural stone . . . at a
fraction of the cost!
