(54) New industrial application of natural rock and part derived from said application


(57) The invention consists of making use of natural rock residues, particularly of marble, generated in traditional manufacture of large, thin sheets, consisting of both small blocks created in quarry explosions and residues obtained in the later cutting phase when obtaining the sheets. With these residues small parts (1) are obtained similar in configuration and size to a conventional ceramic brick but made of stone, which may be used in construction as structural elements for walls and the like.
