Stone Names

At present, there are many companies around the world that use generic names to recognize different types of stone. This has produced a problem for the stone maintenance industry. The creative names were in Italian. Generally the name consists of two parts. The initial part describes the color and the next part describes the name from where the stone was quarried.
