Disclosed is a stone-block analysis device and method for the evaluation of stone blocks, in particular, concrete blocks to be arranged on a conveying device for conveying the stone blocks with a conveying surface for the stone blocks to be laid on, which extends into a longitudinal direction and into a transverse direction. The stone-block analysis device has at least one first scanner unit for scanning at least one physical characteristic of the stone blocks, an evaluation device for evaluating a signal output by the scanner unit, a control device, and a display device. The scanner unit is spaced away from the conveying surface in a vertical direction, perpendicular to the longitudinal direction and transverse direction. In addition to the first scanner unit, which is a point scanner, at least one second scanner unit is provided, which is a line scanner, wherein a height of at least one stone block can be detected by both scanner units.
