"Graphite Stone" is characterized by its blue-gray surface, which captivates by its striking bright veins. The metamorphite processed in the STEINBILD "Graphite Stone" was formed about 700 million years ago during the ice age when photosynthesis almost completely stopped, whereby only microscopic and plant life can be assumed.
History of origins
Each STEINBILD tells the probably oldest story in the world - our earth history
At that time, the earth was in an ice age.
Mineralogy
Photosynthesis had almost completely stopped due to the ice age. Therefore, only microscopic plant life can be assumed at this time. In the fauna, the earliest known representative of the Bilateria (two-sided animals) appeared.
