The black stone in the Kaaba is believed to have fallen from heaven to show Adam and Eve where to build an altar. If one sees a picture of the black stone, one will see a fragmented dark rock, polished smooth and framed to the side of the Kaaba.

The Kaaba is a cuboid-shape structure which is made of granite, standing on a marble base . Inside the Kaaba, the floor is made of marble and limestone and the interior walls are clad with marble halfway to the roof.

The eastern corner stone of the Kaaba is a Black Stone, reportedly set there by the Prophet. The nature of the Black Stone has been much debated. It has been described variously as basalt - a volcanic stone, an agate, a piece of natural glass or, most popularly, a stony meteorite. Obviously religious scruples have prevented a full scientific analysis of the object (which has been fragmented in human history).
