Quartzites
Crystal
The Crystal quartzite is a precious, rare and translucid stone, made of the purest quartz crystal. Its extraction is an art, requiring certain skills due to its rarity and delicacy. The natural formation of these crystals requires specific conditions, originating from the crystallization of a special fraction of magma rich in silica and other rare elements within cracks in ancient stones, resulting in pure and voluminous crystals.

Petrographic Analysis
It consists of classifying the rock through the macroscopic and microscopic description of its characteristics, such as minerological composition, alteration, deformation and microcracking pattern.
Apparently density
Relationship between the mass and apparent volume of the rock. It provides the weight of the rock, being an important parameter for calculating loads in buildings.
Apparent porosity
It is the relationship between the volume of voids and the total volume of the rock expressed as a percentage.
Water absorption
It is the ability to assimilate or incorporate water into the rock, expressed as a percentage.
Abrasion resistance
Determines the wear rate due to friction of particles with the surface of a rock plate.
Bending resistance
Simulates flexural efforts in rock pacas, with predetermined thickness, in this case simulating the effect of wind on plates fixed to facades with metal anchors.
Compressive strength
.
Stain resistance
Stress that causes rock to rupture when subjected to compressive stress.
Inspirations
Environments
The exclusive world of natural stones for subtle and elegant environments.
