Stone blocks are primarily made from minerals such as silica (in the form of quartz), feldspar, and mica. These minerals are the main constituents of common types of stone like granite and sandstone. Additionally, limestone, which is primarily composed of calcite, is also used in making stone blocks. The specific mineral composition can vary depending on the type of stone and its geological origin.
