It IS renewable in the sense that volcanic forces are always creating new rocks and stones deep within the earth. However, since it takes millinia for formation and exposure on the surface of the earth, it is considered to be non-renewable. It simply takes too long for stone to form to be considered a renewable natural resource.

Yes it is because it takes a long time to form (Redirected from Renewable resources)Jump to: navigation, searchA natural resource qualifies as a renewable resource if it is replenished by natural processes at a rate comparable or faster than its rate of consumption by humans. Solar radiation, tides, winds and hydroelectricity are perpetual resourcesthat are in no danger of long-term availability. Renewable resources may also mean commodities such as wood, paper, and leather, if harvesting is performed in a sustainable manner.
