Grey / Black 100 * 100mm “Cut” Setts. 1 to 2 and 2 to 4cm thick

Gneiss derives its name from an old German work for spark, the quartz in it gives it a subtle glitter. It is a tough, hard, coarse-grained rock composed of the same minerals as granite (quartz, feldspar and mica) but with alternating bands of light and dark minerals. In Gneiss the minerals are arranged into layers that appear as bands in cross section. The darker bands have minerals such as magnesium or iron and lighter bands contain silicate minerals (aluminium, sodium, potassium, etc). Although gneiss and granite have similar properties (resistance, hardness, durability), they have different textures and finishes. It is sourced in Europe.
