PORPHYRY GRAIN 8/12 mm (10 Kg).

 

Porphyry (rhyolithic ignimbrite) is a magmatic rock which constitutes one of the last effusive units of the Permian volcanic complex (270 Ma) of the Atesina region.

The rock structure is porphyritic with 35-40% (by volume) of well crystallized minerals in a microcrystalline or glassy groundmass.

Minerals are, in volume and in decreasing order of abundance: quartz, sanidine, plagioclase, rare biotite.

For the same reasons, Geosism & Nature sas is not responsible for any changes in color of the stone due to the climatic conditions of the place (rain, humidity, snow and / or frost) or to any fertilization or irrigation done with particularly aggressive water or which they have elements in solution that can, in some way, alter the chemism - and therefore the color - of the rock itself (eg carbonates in general, salts, iron, manganese, molybdenum, heavy metals in general, etc ...). Remember that all stones that do not undergo chemical treatments can absorb water and with it the previously mentioned elements.
