Answer :
they take a long time to heat up because stone has a high heat capacity, meaning it takes more heat to warm it up than other materials. so if you warm it up it will also take a long time to get cold because it is efficient at trapping and insulating heat.
Stone has a high specific heat capacity so it takes a lot of energy to get it to reach a good temperature.
Stones absorbs heat, holds it for a period of time, and then passes it on. However, if the walls are thick enough then it can act like insulation in that it takes quite awhile for the heat to penetrate.
What is specific heat capacity ?
The specific heat capacity is defined as the quantity of heat (J) absorbed per unit mass (kg) of the material when its temperature increases 1 K (or 1 °C)
Stone has a high specific heat capacity so it takes a lot of energy to get it to reach a good temperature. One it has reached that temperature it has to lose a lot of energy for the temperature to go down
