Pinolite, a patterned black and white stone with white crystal "petals" is soft and easy to work, resulting in various lapidary uses
 Pinolite/Pinolith Rough Stones
Pinolite, also called pinolith, is stone comprised of magnesite, dolomite and graphite, resulting in an elegant and unique
black-and-white crystalization structure. Its nickname is ice flower stone because of its magnesite crystals that form with
the black graphite around them, looking like the white petals of a flower.Â
This kind is endemic to Austria, found only in a few places high in the remote Alps as a byproduct of the magnesite mines.
As it is a soft stone, it is easy to cut, and it takes a great polish. Polishing really brings out its unique crystal structure. See
our finished pieces and jewelry for sale elsewhere on our website, for examples.
