10. Efflorescence
    When white crystals appear on the surface of masonry, or plaster, these are referred to as 'efflorescence'. The phenomenon is due to the movement of mineral salts from the body of the stone to the surface, as a result of movement of moisture. It may be an indication of water penetration or condensat...
