Granite is widely spread sort of stone that can be found in the diggings around the world. That is sort of deep igneous rocks which is of crystal structure. It is composed, depending of sort, from different sorts of quartzed minerals. The process of forming the granite stone is gradually inspissation and crystallization of magma, mixed minerals in the liquid state. Granite stone is formed of the hardness and tightness of structure, and because oft hat is resistible on the low temperatures and freezing, and the acids can’t cause reactions on the silicate crystals that the granite is made from. ![]() Example 1. The structure of the granite stone is granular. The size of the crystal structures depends of the sort of material and the site where the diggings is located. So called acidic granites are composed of finely crystal structures that one can’t see, compared to Finish granite Baltic brown that consist of crystal structure that can be larger then 3 cm in diameter. The granite market because of its good characteristics works pretty well, so at the our market there is very good choice. Usually granites get names by the site where the diggings or simply they get the reference number. European granites of intensive colour are Finish Balmoral, Baltic’s red granite Carmen Red and Baltic’s brown granite Baltic Brown. From China are imported many sorts of new types of granite and number of diggings that are exploited is in increase. The rest of the areas that are known of often diggings are India, Brazil, Iran, Italy, Spain, Sweden and so on. Dominating colour of certain sorts of granite depends of the contains of minerals feldspar. The colour is determined by the combinations of crystals and colour palettes that dominate. It could be from light colour to grey, pink, yellow, red, brown, green, and wide variety of black colours and all the way to the blue colour that is very rare. Granite stone is possible to find on the all continents. The chemical contains and dominating colour differs from diggings to diggings. Our nearest diggings are on the Italian island of Sardinia. |
