stone concrete blocks
I'm thinking some of the precast companies are attaching stone (flat
slab material) to their cast building panels. I know of one mill that
has been cutting these slabs and having to install a weird anchoring
system on the back of the stone , and then the concrete is poured to
it. Apparently they are having some bonding issues with the system.
On another note, beginning back in the 1870's many of the buildings in
the German Community of Fredericksbueg, Texas were constructed out of
a cast stone building block ( I think they were call britchie blocks
or something of that nature. 12 = inches in face height with pitched
faces. Can't really distinguish them from natural stone in terms of
appearence or texture.

not the imitation, incorporating the stone as part of the architectural
unit with the concrete part plastered later.
