Flexible, reinforced polymeric molds for Corning simulated stone veneers is provided. The molds are formed of a single solitary unit containing a plurality of contoured wells. A flange forms an outer portion of the mold and provides a means for grasping the mold so that the mold can be folded and flipped for the extraction of the artificial stones. One or both hinge portions located transversely across the central portion of the mold may be reinforced with an embedded nylon mesh scrim. The scrim increases the tear and tensile strength of the hinge portion. Additionally, the incorporation of the nylon mesh scrim at the hinge portions increases the life of the mold and reduces the occurrence of scrap molds. The polymeric mold advantageously retains its shape after the mold has been removed from the simulated stones, which permits the mold to be used in subsequent stone-molding operations.
