Austrian Pinolith Slab

Pinolith, also known as pinolite, is a beautifully intricate marble comprised of dolomite, magnesite, and graphite. Its name derives from pine nuts, the shape of which are reminiscent of pinolith’s magnesite crystal structures. The graphite content imparts a beautiful grey shimmer to the individual crystals. This is a fairly rare material that comes from only a few small deposits in Austria and Spain.

This is a rough, unpolished slab. Please observe images closely for flaws, as some degree of that is normal. Pictured wet and dry.
