Abstract
This document describes systems and processes for forming stone slabs, which may be suitable for use in living or working spaces (e.g., along a countertop, table, floor, shower surrounds, tiles, or the like). In some embodiments, the stone slabs may be processed by partially filling a mold with a particulate mineral mix, and preparing a top surface of the particulate mineral mix to received one or more additional materials.
Claims21
1-20. (canceled)
A stone slab, comprising:
- a slab width that is at least 3 feet;
- a slab length that extends perpendicular to the slab width and that is at least 6 feet, the slab length and the slab width defining a top major surface;
- a slab thickness that extends perpendicular to the slab width and the slab length, the slab length greater than the slab width, the slab width greater than the slab thickness;
- a slab layer comprising a slab layer particulate mineral mix extending substantially throughout the slab width and substantially throughout the slab length;
- a first vein comprising a vein particulate mineral mix extending within the slab layer;
- a second vein comprising printed pigmented material;
- and
- a top layer at least partially covering the slab layer, the first vein, and the second vein,
- wherein the first vein and the second vein are at least partially visible on the top major surface through the top layer.

A processed slab having a slab width that is at least 3 feet;
- a slab length that extends perpendicular to the slab width and that is at least 6 feet, the slab length and the slab width defining a top major surface, and a slab thickness that extends perpendicular to the slab width and the slab length, the slab length greater than the slab width, the slab width greater than the slab thickness, the processed slab comprising:
- a background layer comprising particulate mineral mix colored at least partially by a layer pigment material and extending through the slab width, through the slab length, and through the slab thickness;
- and
- a vein layer colored by a printed vein pigment material defining at least one printed vein and arranged in a predetermined pattern on the background layer,
- wherein at least a portion of the background layer and at least a portion of the printed vein layer are at least partially visible on the top major surface.
