Man made stone! Making limestone and GRANITE geopolymer !

This new geopolymer mix can be replicated by using variations on this mix. Must be mixed in this order : Start with water or salt water (saltwater preferred) Add Sodium Silicate (waterglass) to the water (equal proportion ratio 1 cup of water 1 cup of sodium silicate etc) Next add Sodium Carbonate again using 1:1 ratio , 1 cup of sodium carbonate for every cup of water used Next add in the powdered stone you want , in this case I used powdered limestone and desiccated granite , I used double the water amount cup wise 2:1 ratio It can be poured at this point.. or.. If you want to add more aggregates like sand, fibers, pebbles, other larger stones or even metallic mixes can be added via metal flakes, crystals, or powdered metals, glitters, foils, and coloring pigment to color the mix all could be added at this point.. I’ve found most mixes are ready to be pulled from forms within hours to a day. Dry at room temperature. Curing varies but usually is cured in a few days to a week. You can play around with proportions on this, these are test mixes in their own right. We shall see on weathering endurance soon as these cure , I will seal with standard stone concrete sealer once cured .
