Aquarius
The close-up view of each stone type shows a relatively true image of the crystalline structure and the colouring. This is suitable for grained slabs to a limited extend only. In regard to the colour matching, please take an original sample of the stone from your furniture store as a basis.
Petrography
Grey, brown, violet-brown and less often also reddish quartzite makes up 90% of the fractured material. Noticeable is the repeatedly mixed-in turquoise-coloured disthene quartzite; much rarer also dark vulcanite or coloured gneiss. As the components correspond at the edges, there are no sharp contours, but only soft borders - an occurrence, which contributes essentially to the good coherence of the veins.
Petrogenesis
Rock material brought together from various areas had been closely accumulated in river beds after the fractured material had been rounded off during longer transport routes of the single, fractured material. A convex/concave contact caused the ground material to be imbedded and a later re-crystallisation lead to a close connection of the very different components.
