Rosa Quarzit Scuro Corallo

Über Rosa Quarzit Scuro Corallo

Rosa Corallo Quartzite is a Precambrian metamorphic quartzite from northeastern Brazil. DNSA #4983 ROSA CORALLO identifies the origin as Bahia (BA); SC s5307 says Pernambuco — both are northeastern Brazilian states, likely indicating the quarry spans or sources from the broader Borborema Province quartzite belt. The stone has a distinctive red-coral to bordeaux coloration with brown accents and a layered/directional (schistose) structure. The queue input 'Rosa Quarzit Scuro Corallo' = 'Dark Rose Coral Quartzite' (Italian/German mixed name). DNSA notes the stone is barely used in Germany (kaum in Deutschland eingesetzt). Technical data from SC s5307: density 2661 kg/m3, compressive strength 1720-1900 kg/cm2 (168.7-186.4 MPa), flexural 202 kg/cm2 (19.82 MPa), water absorption 0.23%. Additional names: Red Corallo Quartzite, Coral Red. Hard, dense quartzite suitable for interior and exterior applications.
