Monumental or building stone, worked (except slate) and articles thereof (not of heading no. 6801) mosaic cubes etc., of natural stone including slate; artificially coloured granules of natural stone
In plain English
This category covers worked stone, plaster, cement, asbestos, mica, and similar materials used for monuments or construction, excluding slate. It includes items like mosaic cubes made from natural stone, as well as artificially colored granules derived from natural stone sources. The classification separates these goods based on the specific type of stone, such as marble, travertine, alabaster, granite, or other calcareous and natural stones. Further distinctions are made between items that are simply cut or sawn with a flat surface and those that have undergone additional processing.
