Description:

Grey, white and black uniform granite. Has been described as noble, discreet, sophisticated and one with nature.
Quarry operating since: 1997
Annual Production: 1200 m3 and more
Properties: We have an emphyteutic lease with the right to extract stone and have acquired the property to use as a substitute for an American stone, of similar color (Deer Isle).
Reserves: The reserves are big, in the order of several centuries. The rock formation of the region is well known: the thickness of the beds, even in the old quarries where they are very thin at the surface (20 to 40 cm), the beds get thicker rapidly, up to 2 meters and more as we get deeper. So, on this site or even on the surface, the beds have more than 1,50 meters in thickness and disappear rapidly.
