What is a carcass?
Carcass stone, which is one of the dimensions of building stones, is actually called a stone that is obtained from the mountainside. Therefore, no processing is done on this stone and they have irregular shapes and no specific shape. The carcass, which can be obtained from all kinds of travertine, granite, and marble stones, is the result of the process of extracting heaps of stones from mines by various methods, especially explosives. The amount of rubble obtained in the explosive mining method is more. Of course, since granite is a very strong stone, the dimensions of its carcass are larger than other stones, which are sometimes used to make countertops.
