Bellagio
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
As the name suggests, quartzites consist mainly of the mineral quartz. In contrast to sandstones with rounded grains, the quartz grains here are almost completely interlocked; the structure is therefore almost pore-free and the rock is therefore easy to polish. The mineral quartz is also harder than steel and acid-resistant.
Conditionally suitable for outdoor use (the darker spots and veins Contain the golden-colored iron sulfide pyrite, Which rusts when exposed to moisture over a Long period of time)
Petrogenesis
When sand deposits, for example on the sea floor, solidify over time with the incorporation of a binding agent, sandstones are formed. If these are later subjected to high pressures and temperatures during mountain folding, quartzites are formed.
