Question

Quarry faced finished stones are also called:

(a) Reticulated finish

(b) Hammer faced finished

(c) Rock faced stones

(d) Plain finish

The question was posed to me in an interview for internship.

The origin of the question is Quarrying and Dressing of Stones in chapter Materials for Construction of Basic Civil Engineering

Answer 1

Correct answer is (c) Rock faced stones

To explain I would say: Quarry faced finished stone is directly available from the quarry and has a smooth surface. It doesn’t require any further dressing. They are also called self-faced stones.
