laja - piedra laja


Explanation:
It is quite used in construction, and the most important quarries in Argentina are in Mar del Plata.
It could also be losa de piedra, since slab alone is losa.

Bloque de piedra


Explanation:
Según mis diccionarios, Slab referido a una piedra es un Bloque.

Según el contexto general de la traducción supongo que podrás deducir cual es la traducción correcta.

Se trata simplemente de otra posibilidad.

Hasta pronto, y suerte
