Technical details
- Water absorptionThis is how much water the rock can "suck in" when it comes into contact with liquids. More porous stones tend to absorb more water, while others hardly absorb any at all. This is important when choosing materials for wet areas, such as kitchen worktops.

- Apparent porosityThis is how much "empty space" a rock has inside it. Imagine a sponge: it has lots of little holes through which air and water pass. Some rocks also have small pores that can absorb liquids or air, but on a much smaller scale than a sponge

- Abrasion resistanceThis is the rock's ability to withstand the wear and tear caused by daily use. Think of a shopping center floor, for example, which receives thousands of steps every day. If the stone is very resistant to abrasion, it will remain intact for a long time. If it is m

- HardnessThe higher the hardness of a rock, the more resistant it will be to scratches, that is, its resistance to abrasion. The closer to 10, the more resistant it will be to abrasion. The hardness used in Rock Library is from the Mohs Scale.4
- Reacts with acidsThe reaction with acids happens when a solution with acidic pH comes into contact with the rock, which releases a corrosion on the surface, removing part of the shine.No
