Black Shimmer should not be confused with traditional stone veneer. Flexible stone veneers are considered true stone veneers in the same way that wood veneers are very thin sheets of wood.

It is used for interior and exterior, especially where bending to a curved surface is required. Flexible stone veneer is made from a thin layer of stone stripped or peeled from a stone slab, rather than cutting from a solid stone or precast composite material.
