Today we start a series of reports which are to familiarise our readers with the general situation on Polish stone market. We start with some information from Lower Silesia. We have chosen this region  not accidentally since here we can find Strzegom - Polish capital city of stone industry, and here is also Wrocław where the largest stone fair in Poland are held. Lower Silesia has the greatest number of mines, the largest variety of deposits (Strzegom granite being the most famous), the greatest number of processing plants in Poland, stone importers, producers and sellers of stone processing machines and accessories.

Here is the next part of the report concerning the condition of Polish stone industry. In the last issue of Świat Kamienia we were writing about Lower Silesia, now we are going to focus on opolskie and śląskie provinces. The area that this part of the report covers can be divided into the following regions: Opole region, Częstochowa region, Upper Silesia, Silesian Beskids, Żywiec Beskids and Cieszyn Silesia. Each region can be characterised differently and the level of development of stone industry varies from region to region.
