Abstract

A method for producing a decorative stone comprises steps of: cutting a stone or other decorative materials into certain positive pieces having various shape by the water-jet; cutting another stone to certain depth but not through according to the shape of said positive piece to make a negative piece by the water-jet; taking out cut-off pieces from said stone; inlaying said positive pieces into said negative piece to form as an integrated piece; and polishing a surface of said positive pieces and said negative piece. In accordance with the present invention, the water-jet technology can bring high manufacture efficiency and the inlay can be industrialized easily. It also increases the decorative effect through inlaying different pattern and specificity stones.
