Lavagrigia Trachyte Variegata Levigata Trachyte Tiles

Trachite is an effusive magmatic rock, i.e. it is formed by crystallization of a magmatic melt that cools on the earth’s surface or inside the earth’s crust at very low depths. This rock has porphyritic, holocrystalline structure, it is gray in color and usually includes plagioclase, sanidine and biotite minerals.
About 35 million years ago the trachytic magma, rising to the surface, intruded along the stratification planes of the sedimentary rocks, raising them and generating, among others, Euganeai Hills, hills of volcanic origin: today these hills are the most important trachyte tanks in Italy.
Nowadays, different types of trachyte are extracted, in particular the “gray” trachyte , and the “variegated” one. The material is typically used for both interior and exterior floors and walls.
