Kraichgaurose
Granite
Structure: The KRAICHGAUROSE is an average to coarse-grained, rosy granite. It varies coloured in three types: Lightpink, mediumpink and darkpink. The principal part in the rock forms the rosy potash-feldspar as well as smaller, whitish to grey plagioclase feldspar. Quartz arises colorless to transparency. Black to black-grey biotite (dark mica) is small available however evenly in the rock distributed. This forms a clear contrast to the otherwise bright crystalline structure.
Characteristics: After the MOHS hardness scale (1 = chalk, 10 = diamond) the KRAICHGAUROSE possesses a degree of hardness of 6-7. It ranks among the hard rocks and is to a large extent a polishing and frost-steadily.
Emergence: The KRAICHGAUROSE developed as large volume granite intrusion, which solidified in the earth's crust. There was sufficient time for the growth of the large feldspar crystals during the long and even cooling over millions of years. At the same time a relatively uniform grain structure developed, so that the KRAICHGAUROSE presents itself as very homogeneous hard rock.
Age: Approx. 1.5 billion years (Precambrian).
Use: The KRAICHGAUROSE is to be used as hard rock in the interior and external architecture, main as floor mats, stairs, fronts, table and kitchen sill plates etc. Due to the homogeneity the KRAICHGAUROSE is excellent to be used as a cut stone.
