Originating from ancient quartz sands subjected to colossal pressures, Havanna Green is a Quartzite with a massive structure and fine grain. Its matrix is dominated by recrystallized quartz, interlaced with delicate sericite flakes, granting it an extraordinary compressive strength of 212 MPa. This geological robustness, combined with low absorption, makes Havanna Green Quartzite the definitive choice for projects demanding the longevity of natural stone alongside a sober and luminous aesthetic.
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.
The most abundant mineral group in the Earth’s crust. They are aluminosilicates made of potassium, sodium, and calcium. They are essential in forming igneous rocks like granites and basalts. Their colors range from white and pink to gray, and they have a glassy shine. They are widely used in industry to produce glass, ceramics, glazes, and porcelain.
The most abundant mineral series in the Earth’s crust, part of the feldspar family. Their chemical composition includes sodium, calcium, aluminum, and silica. They are important for classifying igneous rocks and range from white to gray. They are commonly found in basalts and granites and usually show fine, typical striations on their crystal surfaces.
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.
