Product Description
Stone type: basalt
Origin: Seis am Schlern, South Tyrol
Surface: sanded, polished, flamed, brushed
Description:
The term “basalt” may derive from the Ethiopian word “bsalt”, meaning “cooked” .This would surely fit the etymology of this igneous rock. If you look long enough, the rock resembles a simmering broth.
In South Tyrol, basalt is a conspicuous exception. It is usually only found along the main ridge of the Alps, hence in much higher locations than in Seis am Schlern. The discovery of the Seis Basalt was pure coincidence, as it appeared during construction work for the new Seiser-Alm gondola.
Its formation remains somewhat enigmatic, as geologists who are familiar with the location can merely
speculate on this matter. It seems as if this basalt paved its way through the chalk-beds of the Dolomites to rise to the surface.
There are two different kinds of Seis Basalt: Crystal and Lounge. Seis Lounge Basalt is somewhat lighter and has a calmer and more elegant appearance. Nonetheless, the bedrock remains recognizable and its vital temper unmistakable.
This Basalt is greenish in color and characterized by black augite crystals and white quartz veins.
Use: interior design, floors, bathroom, stove tiles, kitchen, large sinks, bathtubs, shower trays
Mining: A boulder rock that coincidentally appeared during excavations for an underground garage at the Seiser Alm Gondola (see picture documentation). The Seis Basalt is the only basalt from South Tyrol available on the market.
Availability: blocks, raw panels approx. 3x 2.6m, floor panels, customized prefab creations, all thicknesses available
