Building stones should be light. The buildings should not be technically heavier than a certain limit. Therefore, according to the materials and bearing of each structure, the appropriate stone should be used. Some building stones are very heavy and strong and some are light. Of course, this lightness is a reason for less strength than heavier stones.

Its weight is high and its use puts a dead load on the building. Installation of this stone is time consuming due to the use of mortar for adhesion. This stone is not thermal and acoustic insulation, thus leading to energy loss in the building. Granite adhesion to mortar is not ideal. For this reason, its use as a paving stone has recently been banned because it is likely to fall.

Moreover, travertine is considered a sustainable choice in architecture and design. It is a natural stone that is widely available, and its extraction and production processes have become more environmentally friendly over the years. Additionally, travertine has excellent thermal properties, helping to regulate indoor temperatures and reduce energy consumption.

It can be said that it is a stone between marble and lime found in abundance near hot springs, especially limestone caves. The large cavities in the texture of this rock, as mentioned, are caused by gases trapped in hot water and make the surface of the rock, not polished and slippery, and a good choice for the floor of places that experience high humidity.

Travertine stones are usually available in ivory white or completely white and caramel. More common colors are naturally more economical as well, while stones with rarer colors are often much more expensive.

When the sandstone is transformed into quartzite, the quartz grains that were already there are crystallized again along with the cementitious material that was previously present in the sandstone, and the new quartz crystals are fused together. Most or all of the old sandstone texture and sedimentary structure will be completely removed by metamorphism and replaced by a new structure.

The formation of rocks, which are sandstones, is such that they are permeable to water and their porosity is such that they can hold large amounts of water, which makes them precious watersheds. Fine-grained watersheds such as sandstones are more prone to filtering contaminants from the surface than rocks such as limestone and other rocks formed by seismic activity.

Israel is already known to have an extensive diamond trading market, but could diamonds and precious stones also be extracted here?If you ask Australian Prof. "Israel has large deposits containing different types of precious stones, including diamonds. "Griffin came to Israel in January 2016 for the first time to examine the activities of Shefa Yamim (TASE:SEFA), the only company in Israel dealing with the exploration of diamonds and precious stones. "Russian scientists that were with me said that the same minerals have been found in Israel, in much greater deposits than the ones found before. "Griffin may have come to Israel because of the moissanite, but found himself researching the previous stones discovered by Shefa Yamim, including rubies, sapphires and diamonds. Taub says that over the years, five delegations of geologists from global mining giant De Beers have visited Israel and helped the company to prepare its exploration plan. Griffin says that he was skeptical when he first heard that the company also discovered diamonds, since, in geological terms, Israel is too young, leading to low chances to find diamonds. "But it seems that Israel has certain types of diamonds that could have arrived from nearby locations that are geologically more ancient, such as Africa. Major capital is requiredDo the type and quantity of stones discovered in Israel warrant commercial mining? Griffin is cautious about providing a definitive answer, but he estimates that it does. "Rare stones and minerals have been found in Israel. "Griffin adds that in Israel, unlike other countries, precious stones and diamonds occur in the same areas. Taub, who is currently staying in London where he is planning a public offering, adds, "We need substantial capital, which is hard to come by in Israel, because the Israeli market does not understand us. It is difficult, being the first in Israel. "Published by Globes [online], Israel business news - www.
