The Natural Stone Council recently acknowledged the generous donations of stone industry members who have contributed to the organization's efforts. The Natural Stone Council is a collaboration of businesses and trade associations that have come together to promote the use of natural stone in commercial and residential applications. By pooling resources under the "Genuine Stone" brand name and logo, the organization's goal is to increase the understanding of, preference for and consumption of natural stone.
