English term or phrase: dimension stone
The text is about spatial development in Africa, and addresses the investment in natural resources.

Sentence : In Sudan, this analysis yielded information describing plans for a cement plant at Khartoum and that mining leases have been issued for gypsum, salt and dimension stone.

It appears that the term dimension stone refers to natural rock quarried for specific dimensions, colour and texture.

Is there a fixed term for it in Arabic ?
