The threshold stone is generally made of natural stone, and most decoration companies or home designers recommend using natural stone as the threshold stone. There are mainly the following reasons: indoor decoration inevitably has longer door openings on balconies or kitchens (bedroom threshold stones are generally less than 900mm, bathroom threshold stones are generally less than 800mm). If other materials are used to make threshold stones, it cannot meet the length requirements, resulting in too many joint positions on a threshold stone, which is not aesthetically pleasing. The interior design is diverse and the shapes are also different. Sometimes, irregular door openings require the use of threshold stones, which better reflects the advantages of natural stone as a threshold stone. Natural stone slabs are generally larger, which can better meet the length and shape requirements of different sizes of irregular threshold stones.   The floor tile surfaces of bathrooms, kitchens, living balconies, and unclosed balconies are 5mm lower than those of other parts (mainly to prevent water backflow). The lower side of the threshold stone in these positions needs to be polished with a small slanted edge to achieve a smooth cut of 5mm exposed material cross-section and consistent color and luster with the smooth surface of the slab, which is also something that floor tiles cannot achieve. Next, we will try to maintain consistency in the threshold stones of a typical house, including materials, colors, and methods. We will try to avoid using bricks to replace the shorter threshold stones of a house, and then using natural stone to make the longer ones. This will not maintain consistency and aesthetics, and the visual effect will be greatly reduced. Finally, generally, the price of better large floor tiles is much higher than that of natural stone. Using natural stone as a threshold stone is economically more affordable (except for choosing a very expensive variety). In fact, the patterns, colors, and luster of natural stone itself are more natural and beautiful. Choosing materials and panels well can bring a different aesthetic to the overall decoration.

The unique textures, shapes, contours, and colors on stone all have this unique aesthetic significance. Combining these factors with the points, lines, and surfaces in modern aesthetics can help to unleash the aesthetic characteristics of stone landscape design in garden landscape architecture.   When implemented in landscape matching, stone can be combined with plants, water features, paths, etc. to create different garden landscapes within the spatial range, playing an important role in landscape construction.   Natural stones are mainly used in modern gardens to create landscapes through the following techniques: 1. Embellishment Small original stones in the courtyard are often scattered in small groups, like stars scattered in the sky walking in the courtyard, giving people a leisurely feeling.   2. Slicing In some modern landscape design, stone is cut into several pieces, so that the white patterns inside the stone can be displayed in a crisscrossing manner. When placed in a staggered manner, it gives the illusion of being by the seaside in a courtyard built of flowers, plants, stones, and wood.   3. Rockery The surface of natural raw stones is sharp and rugged, with white patterns alternating between them. This appearance inevitably reminds people of the towering and steep peaks. The black stone is pieced together into a rockery and decorated with grass and wood, accompanied by the water scenery. The softness of flowing water and grass meets the coldness of black stone, and the beauty of nature arises naturally. 4. Mirror surface Traditional stone selection mostly emphasizes "leakage, transparency, wrinkles, and thinness". The original rough surface of the stone is retained, and it is cut in half with a sharp cut. After polishing and glossing, it presents a mirror like texture.   5. Sink Similar to the stone water bowl, the flowing water will slowly flow down the lines of the stone sink. From this, it can be seen that the sink prefers to use the delicate texture of polished stone, reflecting the beauty of firmness and softness.   6. Irregular processing Irregular processing is the custom cutting of stone, and the natural raw stone's rich and elegant color scheme can handle various shapes. The collision between the simplicity of stone itself and the modern sense of fashionable shapes after irregular processing leaves a lasting impression on people.   7. Water bowl Polish the surface of the stone and carve out smooth patterns one after another, allowing flowing water to fill the grooves on the surface of the black mountain stone. The entire scenery is dynamic and peaceful. Placing the stone water bowl in the garden will definitely become the finishing touch.

On the vast land of Fujian, stone quarries are scattered everywhere. They not only provide a continuous source of power for Fujian's economic development, but also contribute a large amount of high-quality resources to the global stone market. Among these quarries, there is one that has become a leader in the stone industry in Fujian and even the whole country due to its huge scale and rich mineral resources, and it is Changtai Wutian Mountain. Changtai Wutian Mountain is located in Zhangzhou, Fujian, China. With its unique geographical location and abundant mineral resources, this quarry has become the largest stone quarry in Fujian. In the past few decades, Wutian Mountain has been renowned for its high-quality G654 granite, which has been highly favored in the market, making it the world's largest G654 granite main base. The Wutian Mountain quarry has an altitude of over 800 meters and is open cut using a mining saw. There are a total of 112 pits ranging from 5 meters to 100 meters in the mining area, and 125 slag storage points with a height of 5 meters to 30 meters and a waste stone volume of 28 million cubic meters. After the complete closure of Wutian Mountain, its decades long mining history came to an end. Now, this once busy quarry has become silent, leaving only those deep pits and piles of slag, witnessing its former glory. Although Wutian Mountain has closed its quarries, its influence and status remain undiminished. Many people still remember the tremendous contribution that this quarry made to the economic development of Fujian and even the whole country. At the same time, the closed Wutian Mountain has also become a unique landscape, and perhaps in the near future, it will become an extremely famous tourist destination, attracting countless tourists to come for sightseeing.
