As we all know, the 1.8 update added the 3 new stone variants. However, none of these alternate stones can be used in the same ways as regular stone. I propose that these other types of stone be implemented in the same ways that regular stone is. For one, crafting. Whenever I go mining, I always end up with a ton of Granite, Diorite, and Andesite. But aside from decoration and building, they are useless. I think that all stone tools and any other items using cobblestone in their recipe should support the other types of stone as well. This includes blocks like dispensers, pistons, etc.Anything requiring smooth stone could just take the polished variants. I do not think that blocks and items using other types of stone need to match their respective stone in color, as this could take a while to implement, and might require new block and item id's. However, if practical though, this would be welcome.
In addition, there should be stair and slab versions of granite, andesite, and diorite; which MUST match in texture.
Please, give your honest feedback on this by all means! I am open to hearing other suggestions.

I always hate all that diorite clogging up my chests with no purpose. I support.
Meh, how often does anyone actually use stone tools? And minecraft is meant for building, its like the primary purpose, anyways, no supprt.
Although the stairs and slabs are not bad ideas, although i belive that has already been suggested.
