Soft and Natural Moonrock is a Brazilian quartzite with a brown base tone and unevenly distributed roundish shades, which consist of lighter whitish to darker grey pockets of various minerals. 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 natural, unobtrusive, neutral, gentle, calm and warm. Due to its very constant base tone and the small change in color from block to block, the material is particularly suitable for large-area applications such as facades or floors. Moonrock fits seamlessly into modern as well as rustic environments. In contrast to the cross cut Moonrock, the appearance of the rock vein cut changes drastically. The gentle, roundish shades become a flowing, linear structure. This optical effect is often reminiscent of the texture of shiny brown silk, giving the quartzite cut in this direction its name: Brown Silk. 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.
