There are significant deposits of construction stones on the territory of Ukraine. They are concentrated within the Ukrainian shield (metamorphic and igneous rocks), the Donetsk folded structure (limestones and sandstones), the southwestern part of the Dnieper-Donetsk depression, the Volyn-Podilsky plate (limestones and sandstones), the Carpathians and the Transcarpathian depression (gypsums, limestones and sandstones, adensites and other effusive rocks), the Black Sea depression and in the mountainous structures of the Crimea (gypsums, limestones and sandstones, diorites and basalts). The majority of mined stones are used for the production of crushed stone, which is needed as an aggregate for concrete and for road construction. Building stone deposits include granites, pegmatites, quartzites, migmatites, gneisses, limestones and sandstones, gypsum, adensites, diorites and basalts, etc. as of January 1, 2021, 946 deposits were taken into account, 428 of which are developed by industry.
