Stone Information
Sarner Porphyry from the “Vormeswald” quarry is specially characterised by its bright red to reddish colour and its homogeneous structure.
This resilient natural stone is very well suited for large-surface interior and exterior applications and is employed by architects across Europe thanks to its warm and pleasant appearance. It is used especially for façades, floors, baths, staircases, kitchen tops, window sills and stone fountains.
From a geological point of view, this stone is part of the Bozner quartz porphyry group which is spread across South Tyrol and the Trentino and is around 280 million years old.
Quarry Information
Porphyry has been mined from the “Vormeswald” quarry since the mid-80s. We acquired the mining rights for this quarry in 2017. We now mine porphyry for around 10 months in the year, further processing it into five different product groups or selling it directly. The quarry itself is located at a height of approx. 1300 – 1500 m south-west of the Bundschen part of the Sarentino Valley.
The bright reddish porphyry is mined step-by-step from above to below on a surface of approx. 7 hectares, using the most advanced mining machinery: The most modern drilling technology, a hydraulic splitting cylinder and a mobile wire saw enable porphyry blocks of the highest quality to be mined in the most efficient manner.
