Which code does this activity belong in?
Dimension Stone Mining and Quarrying covers establishments that extract stone in rough blocks and slabs suitable for further processing into finished products like countertops or building facades. The boundary separates this code from Crushed and Broken Limestone Mining and Quarrying, Crushed and Broken Granite Mining and Quarrying, and Other Crushed and Broken Stone Mining and Quarrying, which cover operations that fragment stone into smaller pieces through crushing, grinding, or pulverizing rather than extracting it as dimensional blocks.
