Born from the metamorphosis of pure sands under ancestral pressures, Emerald Green Quartzite is a geological gem of rare hue. Composed of 95% quartz, its compact and nearly impenetrable structure preserves nature’s eternal brilliance. Its green shades, dusted with relic micas, grant incomparable sophistication to high-end projects, merging the resilience of a millennial rock with the vibrant aesthetic of a mineral oasis.
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 mineral from the epidote group, made of calcium and aluminum silicate. It is found in metamorphic rocks and pegmatites and has a glassy luster. It is well known for its gemstone varieties: tanzanite, a rare and very valuable blue-violet gem, and anyolite, a striking green ornamental stone with ruby crystals embedded in it.
An important group of phyllosilicates with perfect basal cleavage, meaning they peel into thin, flexible, and elastic sheets. It includes light muscovite and dark biotite. Common in granites and schists, they have a pearly shine. They are great thermal and electrical insulators and are widely used in industry and in cosmetic shimmer products.
