Quartzites

Explosion

Be captivated by Explosion Quartzite, a geological wonder from Chapada Diamantina, Bahia, with over 1.8 billion years of history. Its varied colors and unique texture, shaped by volcanic and metamorphic processes, make it a true masterpiece of nature.

By incorporating this quartzite, with its light veining and deep bluish tones, into your project, you bring a sense of luxury and refinement, infusing the space with energy and sophistication—a true expression of the Earth’s grandeur in design.

Explosion Quartzite is not just a stone, but a genuine natural work of art that transforms any space into a unique and sophisticated environment, making it the perfect choice for those seeking elegance and authenticity in their design projects.

h’s grandeur in your decor.

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

It simulates bending stresses in rock slabs with a predetermined thickness, in this case simulating the effect of wind on slabs fixed to façades with metal anchors.
