Quartzites
Infinity Grey
1.6 billion years ago, the Chapada Diamantina region, was the scene of a geological phenomenon where river sediments mixed with the tides and gave rise to Infinity Grey quartzite. Water-polished pebbles of different sizes and shapes, marked the gray matrix of the stone. Under the stress of the Earth, the metamorphism took hold of the sediments. As a result, muscovite and tourmaline crystallized in a quartzite web. Each layer represents the sinuosity of the rivers and the sway of the seas, preserved through the ages.

![Petrographic Analysis](http://decolores.dev.duoapp.com.br/media/853/1-analise-petrografica.png)
Petrographic Analysis
It consists of classifying the rock through the macroscopic and microscopic description of its characteristics, such as minerological composition, alteration, deformation and microcracking pattern.
![Apparently density](http://decolores.dev.duoapp.com.br/media/857/1-densidade-aparente.png)
Apparently density
Relationship between the mass and apparent volume of the rock. It provides the weight of the rock, being an important parameter for calculating loads in buildings.
![Apparent porosity](http://decolores.dev.duoapp.com.br/media/858/1-porosidade-aparente.png)
Apparent porosity
It is the relationship between the volume of voids and the total volume of the rock expressed as a percentage.
![Water absorption](http://decolores.dev.duoapp.com.br/media/859/1-absorcao-dagua.png)
Water absorption
It is the ability to assimilate or incorporate water into the rock, expressed as a percentage.
![Abrasion resistance](http://decolores.dev.duoapp.com.br/media/860/1-resistencia-a-abrasao.png)
Abrasion resistance
Determines the wear rate due to friction of particles with the surface of a rock plate.
![Bending resistance](http://decolores.dev.duoapp.com.br/media/861/1-resistencia-a-flexao.png)
Bending resistance
Simulates flexural efforts in rock pacas, with predetermined thickness, in this case simulating the effect of wind on plates fixed to facades with metal anchors.
