Linear and Unique Brown Silk is a Brazilian quartzite with a uniform brownish tone and a distinctive longitudinal structure. It has been created from pockets of various minerals over the course of millions of years under enormous pressure and heat, by flattening stones and pressing them longitudinally. This optical effect is often reminiscent of the texture of shiny brown silk, giving the quartzite its name. The structure and petrographic composition of the material is unique in the world, and causes wonder in every petrographer and geologist. The character of the quartzite is linear, elegant, flowing, warm and often reminiscent of wood. Due to its very constant fundamental tone and the small color change from block to block, the material is particularly suitable for large-area applications, such as wall cladding or floors. Brown Silk fits into both a modern and an elegant atmosphere. Compared to vein cut Brown Silk, the appearance of the rock differs greatly when cross cut. The elongated pockets turn to gentle, rounded hues. This cutting direction is called Moonrock. description material type Quartzite belongs to the metamorphic rocks. High temperature and pressure ensured that from the porous sandstone emerged a consistent and polishable rock that consists almost entirely of quartz. Pure quartzites are the most weather-resistant rocks that exist. Thanks to its high compressive strength and abrasion resistance, the rock is suitable for floors, facades, and many indoor and outdoor applications. Through small admixtures, quartzites appear in many different colors.
