Artificial stone wall panel

A process for producing an artificial stone wall panel, comprising:

• preparing a mixture having a composition of
• (i) an inorganic fine powder component having a size of from 9.5 mm to 180 μm, with at least 5% weight of said inorganic fine powder component being a transparent inorganic component,
• (ii) an inorganic finely divided component having a size of less than 180 μm, and
• (iii) a resin component in an amount of from 7% to 30% total weight of said composition,
• with a ratio of weight of said inorganic fine powder component to weight of said inorganic finely divided component being in a range of from 1:1 to 5:1, and with said composition having a cure shrinkage factor of at most 0.3% and a density in a range of from 2.0 g/cm3 to 2.8 g/cm3 after curing;
• filling said mixture into a bottom mold;
• and
• using a top mold in combination with said bottom mold to press-mold a support with said mixture, under a pressure of from 1 N/cm2 to 100 N/cm2, so as to produce an artificial stone having a surface exhibiting an asperity having a depth of from 10 mm to 100 mm, and also having embedded in at least one of a back surface and header surface of said artificial stone said support, with said support being embedded at a volume ratio of at most 80% and at a depth of at most 80% of a total thickness of said artificial stone such that part of said support is exposed at a back surface or an edge surface of said artificial stone, wherein said support to be used for installing said artificial stone onto a wall surface.
