Hi would really need to know what kind of natural stone, In general they need sealed ( If its a first time or diy job seal before laying and after grouting), if your experienced lay working very cleanly and seal as you go.

Are they going on wall or floor?

As this vague post was received at 4.30am I doubt if we will get any details soon from Gingerwill.
However some members may know a bit more about Gingerwilly!

As stated in earlier posts the substrate you are intending to fix them to and the thickness and type of natural stone really matters. Which type of wall/floor ,issues of load and movement determine what type of tile can be used and the adhesives ,grouts and other materials which may be applicable to the job.
In General it depends on lots of variables (granite is not trav is not marble is not slate but all are natural stone).

When you talk of materials are you talking about MATERIALS or the tools required and materials?
