Extreme pressures forged a granoblastic texture of nearly 100% quartz, resulting in the imposing Ciello Quartzite. With its deep gray color and compact structure, this stone stands as a testament to millions of years of mineral recrystallization. Its ultra-low porosity and exceptional hardness make it the premium choice for high-end projects, merging the earth's eternal resilience with contemporary elegance in timeless surfaces.
Every detail in natural stone comes from the perfect mix of minerals, creating colors, veins, and textures that can’t really be copied. It’s a natural formation that holds the story of the Earth, shaped over millions of years.
A very common mineral in the continental crust made of pure silica. It is essential in granites, sandstones, and quartzites and is known for its high hardness and glassy shine. It is highly resistant to weathering and forms beach sand. It comes in many colorful varieties, like amethyst, and is important for making glass and watches.
A fine-grained muscovite, rich in potassium and aluminum. It forms from the alteration of feldspars in hydrothermal zones and defines the foliation of metamorphic rocks. Its silk-like shine inspired the mineral’s name. Commonly found in schists, it helps indicate the intensity of geological changes in the Earth’s crust.
Minerals that do not let light pass through, even in very thin slices. Unlike silicates, they look black under a regular microscope. They include native metals, oxides, and sulfides like gold, pyrite, and magnetite. They have a strong metallic shine and are the economic base of metal mining around the world.
