Architecture
English term or phrase: cast stone
Bas-relief sculpture in cast stone.
I understand the concept that is an "escultura" in "bajo relieve" made upon mortar molded stones (not real stones, but manmade stones).
The thing is that I haven't been able to find the right architectural term in Spanish for this manmade stones.
I'd appreciate it lots f you guys could help me out on this one.
Thanks!

piedra de imitación


Explanation:
R. Mayer, "The Harper Collins Dictionary of Art Terms and Techniques": CASTING STONE, see imitation stone.
IMITATION STONE: any of various mixtures of cements or plasters, aggregates, and pigments that, when made up to a plastic consistency with water or a chemical solution, harden to a rocklike cohesiveness, appearance, and durability. One such material es OXYCHLORIDE CEMENT mixed with aggregate and pigments; others are sold ready-mixed in supply shops as casting stone or under various trade names. Some of the latter use epoxy resin as a substitute for cement. Imitation stone is used for casting by sculptors, who may try to duplicate the color and texture of various carving stones, or use the imitation stone to achieve new effects.
