White Andesite Stone Tiles, Slabs

Our Andesite is a volcanic rock. It is porphyritic, consists of coarse crystals (phenocrysts) embedded in a granular or glassy matrix (groundmass). Having a silica content of 57% . Our Andesite is extracted from the large volcanic mountain range of South America, the Andes (Andesite is named after the Andes). Indeed, andesite is common in all the mountain-building zones that rim the Pacific Ocean.
The primary ingredient is andesine, a feldspar of the plagioclase series. Smaller amounts of quartz or minerals with iron and magnesium such as olivine, pyroxene, biotite, hornblende are present. Our Andesite is a results from the melting and assimilation of rock fragments by magma rising to the surface.
COLOR: Their color is white which is considered light for its little iron and magnesium (mafic minerals). Andesite white stone slates
