Yes, indeed. The artificial stone called "Coade stone" was successfully manufactured and marketed from about 1770 to 1830, especially for large garden ornaments. Its use was gradually phased out in favour of cement.

Modern builders sometimes use "reconstituted ashlar" which is made from ground-up genuine stone dust in a resin matrix, and is more resistant to weathering. I remember it being used in large pre-moulded blocks to replace the front steps of a historic old building I used to work in. Newer buildings sometimes use a cheaper version manufactured as a layer about 2 cm thick on a much larger concrete block. I have seen such blocks being sawed up during building construction.

Although we can manufacture stone like substances like concrete and cement, the manufacture of artificial stone is beyond the grasp of present day technology.
The closest we can come is the recent discovery in Ulan Bator of a way to make stone more portable. It's the dehydrated stone being prepared in small experimental quantities.Once perfected, it will make a load of,say 500 pounds of stone something a fellow can tote in his briefcase, and once he has it where he wants it, just add water.
