This stone is cut into tiles and slabs. In the Slab method, mesh and epoxy are used to increase the stone resistance against fracture and this method has higher efficiency compared to the tile method.

Using book match and four-match processing, book match (double) and four-match (quadruple) frames can be created. In this method, slab sheets are symmetrically in horizontal and vertical positions next to each other on the floor or walls of the building and form a beautiful frame.

The book match operation consists of two parts, double (book-match) and quadruple (four-match), and in this method, the stone is cut and processed in such a way that the natural lines and veins in the stone slab are paired together.
