Earth Blue and Brown Decorative Stone Slag

Unique decorative stone. Features a striking blue and brown color combination. Perfect for adding a natural touch to any space The formation of Slag is tied to industrial processes. It originates as a byproduct of smelting metallic ores like iron, copper, or lead. During this process, the ore is heated to extreme temperatures, causing it to separate into molten metal and a molten mixture of impurities. This molten waste, primarily composed of silicates, oxides, and sulfides, is then cooled rapidly. The rapid cooling prevents the formation of ordered crystalline structures, resulting in an amorphous, glassy material. The color variations observed are due to the presence of different metal oxides and impurities within the mixture. Slag showcases the transformative power of human industry on geological materials.
