Building stone and masonry formed therefrom

摘要

A building block for forming a masonry structure comprises at least two stone members disposed one above the other and connected firmly to each other, each of which having a wide section at one end and a narrow section at the opposite end. The sections map into each other via an intermediate section and the stone members are disposed relative to each other in such a manner that, in each case, the wide section of an upwardly disposed stone member seats on the narrow section of the respective stone member lying beneath same and the narrow section of an upwardly disposed stone member seats on the wide section of the stone member lying beneath same. A wall built up from a plurality of building blocks disposed next to and one above another is built in such a manner that a wide section of a stone member of a building block seats next to a narrow section of a stone member of a neighboring building block, wherein neighboring building blocks can be displaced in height with respect to each other by one stone member layer such that the upper stone member of a building block seats next to a lower stone member of a neighboring building block.
