Quartzites
Pink Crystal
The origin of the Pink Crystal is magmatic, coming from a specific fraction of a magma composed of silica and other chemical elements, resulting in unique and memorable formations. During its crystallization, the quartz receives mineral inclusions, which give the Pink Crystal its rosy shade.
Completing the watercolor of this sublime stone, filaments full of iron minerals are expressed in orange shades along with brownish micas in the intricate texture, giving it an extraordinary beauty.

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.
