Pighes, Greek marble stone |
Pighes white stone is an acceptable term in the field of production and industry on the contrary to the faulty term Pighes granite. Marble and granite, limestone, travertine and onyx are all natural rocks quarried from the earth, but they are all different from each other, as they have been formed, through the centuries, under totally different processes and circumstances. So, natural rocks, against their apparent similarity, they do have non visible differencies such as their own charachteristics and own mineral properties. Besides, there are plenty deposits of marble in Greece but there aren’t any known deposits of granite.
