Editing Greywacke (section)

==Uses==
Greywacke stone has been used as a building material and a sculptural material across many eras and societies. Its oldest known uses date to the early [[3rd millennium BC|third millennium]] [[Common Era|BCE]], in Egypt's [[Early Dynastic Period (Egypt)|early dynastic period]].  Its wide use in sculpture and vessels is thought to have been due to its fine grain size and resistance to fracturing, making it suitable for fine detail and intricate shapes.<ref name=":0" />

Aside from its structural uses, greywacke stone (or [[Molding (process)|molds]] taken from it) is valuable to practitioners of traditional motion picture [[miniature photography]], because due to its unusually mixed nature, it remains looking natural when portraying a wide range of miniature scale ratios, from 1:1 to as high as 1:600.<ref>{{cite video |title=Worldbuilding a "Bigature" for Wētā Workshop Unleashed! |author=[[Adam Savage's Tested]] |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tr5JBIiXI88&t=985s |website=youtube.com |date=2022-07-19 |access-date=2023-03-27}}</ref>
