In geology this terms indicates a mass of molten and incandescent rock originating from the earth’s interior. Magma presents a variable chemical composition, some elements on the other hand in the form of oxides are fixed. Magmas are defined as acid magmas or basic magmas depending on the percentage of silica. The same magma may give rise to two types of rock depending on whether they solidify within the lithosphere (intrusive rock) or outside it (effusive rock). Magmas may take the name of the intrusive rock that they originate: basaltic magma, granite magma.
Mixed magmas are magmas that have been contaminated.

Made up of magma.

Slabs of various sizes, produced in the factory exploiting advanced technologies, capable of offering a valid alternative to quarry marble. Manufactured slabs may look like quarry material but are technically superior thanks to their greater resistance to abrasion, to flexion, to frost, to chemicals, to stains and to water absorption.

Manufactured stone produced in slabs of various sizes with high technical characteristics (see manufactured stone)

Highly performing slabs of various sizes, characterised by various grain sizes and full-body veins.

Slabs of various sizes of high technical performance, representing a valid alternative to quarry stone, characterised by their homogeneous cold grey colour.

Name generally used to define compact calcareous rock and non-calcareous rock that is easy to process. Thanks to the metamorphic effect, these rocks have acquired a more or less fine crystalline structure. Marble is said to be mono-chrome if the colour is uniform and polychrome in the presence of veins and speckles. The different nature and various distribution of the accessory components such as quartz, graphite and pyrites gives the marble various colours, from red to yellow and from grey to green; the arrangement of these minerals around the veins creates ornamental patterns. Marble is used for floors, walls, ornamental applications but is not highly resistant to atmospheric agents. Marble has a compression strength that ranges between 900 and 1200 kg/m³ and a specific weight between 2400 and 2700 kg/m. Marble is generally mined in open air quarries with auger wire that enables the extraction of large blocks. These blocks are transported by sliding them over a bed of rubble to the saw mill where they are cut into slabs according to their colour, body and defects, using blades sprayed with water and quartz sand. They are honed by carborundum discs and are polished by means of abrasive powders that get finer and finer, with damp felt fitted on the turning disc.

Homogenous body in which two identically directed portions have the same physical and chemical properties. They are classified in inorganic, organic, solid, liquid and gaseous. According to their origin, they are defined as primary (syngeneic or epigeneic) if they are found in the place where they formed and secondary if they have been transported, generally moved by water, from their place of origin to that where they are found. From an industrial point of view, a mineral is said to be rich or poor according to the useful mineral percentage it contains. A raw mineral is any mineral taken from the ground.

It is used in the production process of manufactured slabs.
