BEOLA GRIGIA CLASSICA

Fine-to-medium grained gneiss. The pronounced schistosity follows closely spaced planes: these features result into a metamorphic rock that is mainly formed by quartz, feldspar and micas of a tabular aspect with a very fine texture.
The colour of the background is grey, with some tendency to dark tonalities due to the frequent black inclines; the abundant biotite is present in thicknesses lower than one millimetre; therefore, the muscovite mica gives the typical luster.
The material is grey-whitish with scattered dark dot-like stains.

"Beola grigia flower" slabs are not suitable for being flamed or polished. It is therefore usually supplied rough, processed with water, bushhammered or brushed.
It has its own personality and charm and is also sufficiently homogeneous for numerous applications. This natural stone is suitable for external use, particularly for sidewalk and street surfaces.

"Beola grigia dorata" (golden) with raw surface, bushammered or waterjet with sandblasting effect, in the appropriate tickness, is suitable for flooring of pavements, roads and squares.  It lends a warm tonality.
