Interesting Facts About A Lapidary Stone Granite

By Stephen Nelson


The world is field with precious materials that are extracted from the ground to fulfill various obligations. In fact, some of them are very hard to mine or extract that it takes quite some time before one can acquire them. Geologists as well as other experts take their time to discover their points of origin by use of high technological machines. They are able to detect the mineral from miles always in readiness for extraction and processing. Most of them earn their countries of origin in terms of revenue. That is why people need to recognize the features of the lapidary stone granite.

In the quarry, one would not fail to notice igneous rocks that contain precious minerals such as quartz, mica and feldspar. All these minerals have unique chemical compositions that differentiate them form the others. They exist in all forms of colors depending on their chemical composition. The building and construction industry finds it hard to operate without such precious stones.

It has various names coined to it; some call it K2 granite or KS jasper depending on their level of understanding. Its main country of origin is Pakistan. It is easy to take notice of the stone since it is bright white and shiny. A person that is viewing it for the first time cannot fail to notice this unique attribute. Inside it, are contrasting materials known as the orbs that remade of light blue matter known as azurite.

The azurite orbs measures some minute millimeters in diameter. One cannot help but notice that they resemble a bright blue ink once it has been it has been mounted on a broken surface. The most unique thing about them is that they are spherical in shape, even though it takes too long to notice. It is finely grained hence it has quartz contained inside it.

The major activities that are involved in this area are engraving, cutting and polishing of the stones and gems. It takes the hard work from a specialist to perform all these tasks. This has made various companies to come up owing to the increase in demand for the gems. They are charged with the responsibilities of extracting them in their shaggy forms and transforming them to their finer forms.

The process behind this profession is rather simple. One only needs to cut the big pieces into smaller pieces. In fact, it is easy to trace their steps up to the bottom of the quarry. This process requires advanced machines to cut the rough stones. Nevertheless, the process is quite wasteful and the cliffs are usually very hard to find.

Most professionals that carry out these activities are at higher risk of contracting fatal occupational hazards. These can range from chest related infections to blindness. Therefore, the stone cutters need to use protective devices so that they are not exposed to these hazards.

These minerals are quite important in the building and construction industry since the demand for better housing facilities is on the increase. Therefore, the government needs to equip these experts with good machines to help them in the engraving and polishing.
