A method of forming a stone inlay in an abrasion-sensitive substrate, such a s wood, by forming a depression in the substrate, encasing the stone in a damping material capable of absorbing the abrasive energy applied to the stone in reducing th e dimensions of the stone to fit the depression, cutting the inlay composite of stone and damping material to size and inserting it into the substrate. The cut inlay/damping material composite may be sold separately as an article of manufacture.
