A rock laminate has been provided that includes a layer of rock and a flexible layer. The layer of rock has a plurality of pores that can receive fluid. The flexible layer is positioned above the layer of rock and has a portion which extends into the pores of the layer of rock. Additionally a method for making a rock laminate is provided. The method includes providing a rock having an exposed surface and applying a polymer that bonds with the exposed surface. The polymer is lifted along with corresponding bonded portion of the exposed surface is lifted from the rock.

What is claimed is: 1. A method for making a rock laminate, the method comprising: providing a rock having an exposed surface; applying a polymer to at least a portion of the exposed surface of the rock such that a portion of the exposed surface is bonded to the polymer; and lifting a portion of the polymer, along with the corresponding bonded portion of the exposed surface, away from the rock to produce the rock laminate and to expose a new surface of the rock, wherein the rock laminate is flexible. 2. The method of claim 1, further comprising: providing the rock having the new surface; applying a polymer to at least a portion of the new surface of the rock such that a portion of the new surface is bonded to the polymer; and lifting a portion of the polymer, along with the corresponding bonded portion of the new surface, away from the rock to produce a second rock laminate and to expose a second new surface of the rock. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein lifting a portion of the polymer includes rolling the rock laminate away from the rock to expose the new surface. 4. The method of claim 1, further comprising: flexing the rock laminate until a desired shape is acquired. 5. The method of claim 1, further comprising: molding the rock laminate around an object. 6. The method of claim 1, further comprising: heating the rock laminate until the rock laminate exhibits a desired flexibility. 7. The method of claim 1, further comprising: curing the polymer after application of the polymer to the exposed surface of the rock. 8. The method of claim 7, wherein curing occurs after lifting a portion of the polymer, along with the corresponding bonded portion of the exposed surface, away from the rock. 9. The method of claim 7, further comprising: increasing the rate of the curing of the polymer via application of a curing technique. 10. The method of claim 1, wherein applying a polymer to at least a portion of the exposed surface includes use of a mold. 11. The method of claim 1, further comprising: applying an additive to the polymer. 12. The method of claim 1, further comprising: applying a sealer to a rock side of the rock laminate. 13. The method of claim 1, wherein the rock is a metamorphic rock. 14. The method of claim 1, wherein the rock is a sedimentary rock. 15. The method of claim 1, wherein the rock is selected from the group consisting of shale, limestone, sandstone, mudstone, slate, quartzite, phyllite, mica schist, chlorite schist, gneiss, talc schist, glaucophane schist, prasinite, epidote amphibolite, amphibolite, embrechite, agmatite, calc schist and mylonite. 16. The method of claim 1, wherein the rock provided is in situ. 17. A method for creating a flexible metamorphic rock laminate, the method comprising: providing a metamorphic rock with a first surface; positioning a polymer on at least a portion of the first surface of the metamorphic rock such that a portion of the first surface of the metamorphic rock adheres to the polymer; and delaminating at least a portion of the polymer, along with the corresponding bonded portion of the first surface, away from the metamorphic rock to produce the flexible metamorphic rock laminate, which includes the metamorphic rock portion and the polymer, and to expose a new surface of the metamorphic rock. 18. The method of claim 17, further comprising: applying a color additive to the polymer. 19. The method of claim 17, further comprising: applying a filler to the polymer before positioning the polymer on at least the portion of the first surface of the metamorphic rock. 20. The method of claim 17, further comprising: applying a sealer to a rock side of the flexible metamorphic rock laminate. 21. The method of claim 17, wherein the metamorphic rock is provided in situ in a quarry. 22. The method of claim 17, wherein the flexible metamorphic rock laminate has a first side that includes the metamorphic rock portion and a second side that includes the polymer, wherein the flexible metamorphic rock laminate is provided at a thickness that allows at least a portion of the polymer to affect the appearance of the first side of the flexible metamorphic rock laminate. 23. The method of claim 17, wherein the flexible metamorphic rock laminate has a thickness that is at least 1/12 mm and not more than 2 mm. 24. The method of claim 17, wherein the metamorphic rock portion of the flexible metamorphic rock laminate has a thickness that is not more than 1 mm.
