From stone to marble

What is stone and what makes it different from marble?

The term stone means the natural aggregation of minerals; in particular it is “an unpolishable construction rock” (a feature that clearly distinguishes it from marble).

Generally speaking, stone has a background colour on which a sort of pattern is created due to a variety of different coloured minerals.

Marble is a metamorphic calcium carbonate rock that witnesses a transformation process under the influence of temperature and pressure changes, until it takes on a granular and crystalline structure.

You will find a vast assortment of stone products at our headquarters:

Marbles

It is a metamorphic rock whose name derives from the Greek term shining stone. Its colour depends on the presence of minerals in the form of granules or in layers inside the original sedimentary rock.

Stones and quartzite

Stones are ideal materials for the creation of cladding and flooring solutions. Given their resilience, stones are used for the laying and restoration of outdoor flooring, but also as cladding for indoor surfaces.

Granites

Granite is an intrusive igneous rock, that means a rock that has formed following the cooling of the magma. Its name comes from the Latin word “granum” (grain), with clear reference to its medium and coarser granular texture.
