Three types of stones have been used in the Taj Mahal :
(1) Semi-precious stones as Aqiq (agate), Yemeni, Firoza (turquoise), Lajwad (Lapis- lazuli); moonga (coral), Sulaimani (onyx), Lahsunia (cat’s eye), Yasheb (jade) and Pitunia (blood stone) which were used for inlaying.
(2) Rare and uncommon stones as Tilai (goldstone), Zahar-mohra, Ajuba, Abri, Khathu, Nakhod and Maknatis (magnet stone) which were used in bold inlay and mosaic chiefly on floors, exterior dados and turrets and
(3) Common stones: sang-i-Gwaliari (grey and yellow sandstone) sang-i-Surkh (red sandstone), sang-i-moosa (black slate) and sang-i-Rukhan (sang-i-marmar; white marble) which were used in foundations, masonary and for finishing the external surfaces.
