Limestone is born on tropical seabed and its sea coasts, as a build-up of fragmented, microscopic and dissolved seashells \u2013 mineral calcite \u2013 and sometimes with clay layers or lenses of sand.<\/p>\n

The tropical shoals from which limestone is raised aren\u2019t indefinitely motionless: the bottom of the ocean slowly moves, slipping underneath the continental plates, gradually reorganizing the world map.<\/p>\n

When this movement takes place, it drives the limestone bed into earth\u2019s crust and high temperatures are achieved, causing calcite grains fusion. This is a dynamic process that buries, twists and pushes the rock layers. In this phase, rock doesn\u2019t melt, but gets flexible, just like a chocolate bar in summer. This process is responsible for the trademark veins of marble.<\/p>\n

A Marble piece is the result of its birth, growth and long way of life. We collect it marked with its \u2018scars\u2019, a product of the Nature with unique personality and which irradiates a strong energy, endowing the ambiences with an incomparable character.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
