Unearthed from the Heart of Sicily
Hailing from the sole existing quarry in Ragusa, Pietra Pece Stone captures the essence of a region unlike any other in the world. Its formation is a testament to the unique alchemy of the Iblean mountain range—a geological masterpiece shaped over millennia.
A Journey Through Time and Nature
This extraordinary stone’s origins are rooted in volcanic activity, where rapidly cooled lava and magma gave rise to a rare glassy igneous rock known as pitchstone. Its distinctive colors and textures are the result of fossil carbon and oils embedded within the subsoil, lending it a smooth, silky touch.
