A summary of stone aggregate classification for pavements in Colombia, is presented. The rocks of Colombia, an Andean country originated in a tectonic convergence zone, are classified into seven families of similar behavior; five include sedimentary rocks (limestones, cretaceous and tertiary sandstones, chert and muddy rocks), the last two ones not very used in pavements in another countries, especially the muddy rocks, due to its limited resistance and scarce durability in the case of clayey and micaceous rocks. Classification criteria and its distribution in the Colombian national territory are introduced in this paper.
