ABSTRACT:
A rock laminate has been provided that includes a layer of rock and a flexible layer. The layer of rock has a plurality of pores that can receive fluid. The flexible layer is positioned above the layer of rock and has a portion which extends into the pores of the layer of rock. Additionally a method for making a rock laminate is provided. The method includes providing a rock having an exposed surface and applying a polymer that bonds with the exposed surface. The polymer is lifted along with corresponding bonded portion of the exposed surface is lifted from the rock.
