Champagnerlight
Granite
Structure: After the MOHS hardness scale (1 = chalk, 10 = diamond) possesses CHAMPAGNERLIGHT a degree of hardness of approx. 7 and ranks thus among the hard rocks. It is to a large extent frost steady.
Characteristics: A light-grey granite is CHAMPAGNERLIGHT [lat. granum = grain]. It varied coloured in the grey stages and in the intensity of the white until champagne feldspar (principal part in the rock). Quartz can be light-grey or colorless/transparency. Black Biotit (mica) is predominantly evenly in the rock distributed in fine sheds. Of the texture a relatively homogeneous rock. Large black nests of Biotitschuppen arise rarely up to 5 cm. Nests and other mineral accumulations are however natural and form thus no lack separate express rather the character of the rock.
Emergence: CHAMPAGNERLIGHT developed as mixture from several sour, silicic acid-rich magma complexes, which crystallized as large Plutonite in the earth's crust slowly. Was by the long and even cooling over millions of years sufficient time for the growth of the large feldspar crystals. At the same time a uniform grain structure developed, so that CHAMPAGNERLIGHT as very homogeneous hard rock presents itself.
Age: Approx. 250 million years (carbon/Devonian).
Use: Interior and external architecture; mainly as floor mats and fronts.
