Q&A · identification
How can I identify real natural stone versus fake or engineered stone?
Real natural stone features unique, non-repeating patterns, natural variations in color, and organic imperfections like fissures or mineral inclusions. Engineered stone or fake stone often has a highly uniform, repetitive pattern and may lack the depth and natural flaws found in quarried slabs. Examining the back or edges of the slab can also reveal a manufactured aggregate appearance in engineered products.
