Quartzites
Denali
Between 1 and 1.5 billion years ago, a supercontinent broke apart on Earth, forming the Sedimentary Basins. Dunes formed by quartz grains rose up and were transformed into quartzite by metamorphism, bringing soft lines drawn by opaque minerals, rutile, tourmalines and green muscovite that decorate its crystalline mass in light gray shades, as well as veins of white quartz that spread across its layers.
Straight from Serra Mineira, Denali is a robust and timeless quartzite that reveals its history in the preserved sedimentary formations.

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.
