## Common ground
All options are types of fountain basins based on their primary material.
## Options at a glance
**6802.2X,6802.9X – made of monumental or building stone**
- **Defining trait:** Constructed from natural stone like granite, marble, or limestone used in architecture.
- **Typical examples:** Stone-lined fountains in public squares, classical garden basins.
- **Best fit when:** The basin is carved from solid natural stone, often with architectural detailing.
**6810.99 – made of cement concrete or artificial stone**
- **Defining trait:** Made from man-made materials like reinforced concrete or synthetic stone (e.g., fiberglass-reinforced concrete).
- **Typical examples:** Modern urban fountains, garden basins with molded shapes.
- **Best fit when:** The basin is mass-produced, cast in molds, or uses cement-based composites.
## Key differences
| Feature | 6802.2X,6802.9X (natural stone) | 6810.99 (concrete/artificial stone) |
|-----------------------|-------------------------------|-------------------------------------|
| Material origin | Natural rock | Man-made (cement or synthetic) |
| Craftsmanship | Often hand-carved | Typically molded or cast |
| Weight & durability | Very heavy, highly durable | Lighter, may crack over time |
## How to choose
- Is the basin made from solid natural stone like granite or marble? → 6802.2X,6802.9X
- Is it cast in a mold using cement or artificial composite material? → 6810.99
## Overlaps & pitfalls
A basin may use both materials (e.g., concrete base with stone lining), but the main structural material determines classification. If unclear, prioritize the dominant material by volume and function. No option is vague—both are well-defined by material type
