'Cast' comes from 'molding and casting', and means that the stone material (a mixture of cement and other ingredients in a thick-fluid state) is poured into shaped molds where it becomes stone-hard. It is used for architectural elements such as fireplace mantels, balusters, columns, corbels, garden ornamentsm etc. htm
