The Marble Institute of America (MIA) has launched a new continuing education program, “The Art of Specifying Natural Stone.”

ASTM International publishes a number of standards for dimension stone that can be useful for design professionals and contractors alike.

Stonemasonry is one of the earliest crafts. Unfortunately, the ancient skills that built some of the world’s most magnificent churches, monuments, and homes are now dying out.

The Natural Stone Council has announced the addition of a Life-Cycle Inventory and fact sheet for slate on their website.
