"Mountain Secret" impresses with its strong wave-like structures in subtle shades of blue, which were created due to the subduction of the Pacific plates at that time. The quartzite used in the STEINBILD "Mountain Secret" was formed about 150 million years ago in the age of Pangea.

History of origins

Each STEINBILD tells the probably oldest story in the world - our earth history

At the time when the natural stone of this STEINBILD was formed, mountain building took place around the Pacific Ocean. Subduction of the Pacific plates started the unfolding of the Andes. Regression in Central Europe due to the recession of the sea. Pangaea finally broke apart.

Mineralogy

The first flowering plants emerged and the high rainfall ensured expansion of the plant world. This created dense, lush tropical forests with more flowering plants. Due to the strong reef formation, hexacorals, mussels, crinoids and echinoderms appeared. In addition, the Archaeopteryx (prehistoric bird) is well developed with feathers and skeleton during this time.
