Material vs a physical object
Hi,
Can I say the difference between the two stones below as material vs a physical object?
1. The wall was of concrete, forced with stone.
2. He threw a stone at the dog.
Does 'material vs a physical object' sound natural?
Thank you for your help in advance.

Yes, that seems reasonable, but what does 'forced with' mean? Do you mean 'reinforced with'?
