Stones that have been stabilised are submerged into a stabilizing compound, most likely an epoxy resin. The naturally porous stone will absorb this throughout the stone making it stronger, harder and less changeable over time. Reconstituted stones have been pulverised into a powder and bonded back together using binders.
