The invention is a ceramic synthetic stone product that is comprised of a brick material. The product is formed by precisely grinding out distortions of an over-sized precursor product, and grinding off at least one side of the die skin of the over-sized precursor product, therein exposing an interior surface that looks like granite. The interior surface is substantially off-white or gray with black crystalline specks. The product is a brick, a tile, an architectural stone, a curvilinear block, a trapezoidal block, or a decorative plate. The major constituents of the brick material are clay, oxide pigments, and a binder. Recycled granite can also be added as well as shale, kaolin and feldspar. The method of making the product is also disclosed.
A ceramic synthetic stone product that is comprised of a brick material selected, so that when ground, the grinding exposes an interior surface of the brick material that is similar in appearance to a grade of granite.
A ceramic synthetic stone product that is comprised of a brick material covered by a die skin, wherein said product is formed by reducingly grinding off at least one side of the die skin, thereby exposing an interior surface.
A ceramic synthetic stone product, wherein said product is formed by precisely, reducingly grinding out distortions of an over-sized precursor product covered by a die skin, and reducingly grinding off at least one side of the die skin of the over-sized precursor product, thereby exposing an interior surface.
A method for making a ceramic synthetic stone product, said method comprising:
