In construction, its applicability is vast, because it has elegant visual characteristics like marbles, but it has high resistance like granites. For this reason, it can be applied from kitchen countertops to decorative panels. Since it is a hard material and, therefore, with a higher production cost, it has a more expressive commercial value when compared with other stones. It does not require waterproof and it can be used both in internal and external areas.
