Abstract: In a method of preparing a composite flooring, a quantity of small stones is mixed with a predetermined quantity of liquid colorant in a mixing device for a predetermined period of time, to produce colored stones. The stones and colorant are in a ratio of about 400 lbs of stone to about 1 gallon of colorant. The colored stones are dried and are mixed with an epoxy resin. The mix of stones and epoxy resin is poured onto a floor surface and leveled, for example by troweling. One or more epoxy seal layers are thereafter preferably applied, and a wear layer of polyurethane is preferably applied over the one or more seal layers.
