London Grey Quartzite Quarry

Due to the geological nature that involves metasedimentary rocks, especially quartzites, which have characteristics of extending over large areas with few aesthetic variations, Shades Gray will most likely follow the aesthetic pattern of the contiguous area. With reference to the London Gray mining front, it can certainly be said that this rock is in the exotic category, as it is a quartzite with a general gray color, whose strata (layers) alternate between dark gray and light gray colors. , which, depending on the cut, can provide a stratified pattern (in favor of the grain), or convoluted (against the grain). Blocks can be identified in the deposit with these 2 options. However, what draws the most attention when spraying a surface of the rock cut with wire is its full-bodied, almost glassy structure, which gives it a differentiated shine (see photos).
