• Properties:

The "Mohs" scale of the mineral hardness has the characteristic of measuring the resistance by scratching several minerals through the capacity of a harder material to zero and a softer material. For example, if it was scratched with a diamond along a glass panel, the crystal would be zero and not cause damage to the diamond in any way.

A single piece should not be taken as an exact color sample for later batches.

As well as the variation of color, some of our tiles may have minor inlays, piholes and defects. These imperfections are characteristic of this type of tile, and not the result of a bad workmanship, if this happens it will be replaced.
