I can post pictures of them, I'll start in a few moments. :)
Any information about them would be greatly appreciated x

The different types of stones commonly found are sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic. Sedimentary stones are formed from the accumulation of small particles over time. Igneous stones are formed from molten rock that cools and solidifies. Metamorphic stones are formed from the transformation of existing rocks due to heat and pressure.
Stones are formed through different geological processes. Sedimentary stones are formed through compaction and cementation of small particles, such as sand or clay. Igneous stones are formed through the cooling and solidification of molten rock, either on the surface or underground. Metamorphic stones are formed through the transformation of existing rocks due to intense heat and pressure.
Stones have various uses, depending on their type. Sedimentary stones, such as limestone, are commonly used in construction and as building materials. Igneous stones, such as granite, are used for countertops, flooring, and decorative purposes. Metamorphic stones, such as marble, are also used for construction and as decorative materials.
Stones can be identified based on their physical and chemical properties. Physical properties include color, texture, and hardness, while chemical properties include composition and reaction to acids. Additionally, stones can also be identified through geological surveys and analysis by experts.
Stones can be preserved through regular maintenance and proper care. This includes cleaning with mild solutions, avoiding harsh chemicals, and sealing porous stones to prevent staining. It is also important to avoid exposing stones to extreme temperatures and to address any cracks or damages promptly to prevent further deterioration.
