Natural stones have always fascinated with their unique beauty and diversity. From deep green to bright pink to warm earth tones - the variety of colors of natural stones is an impressive wonder of nature.

In this article we take a look at the creation and history of natural stones and take a closer look at some particularly colorful specimens: Verde Guatemala, Calacatta Viola, Amazonite, Turtle Illusion, Botanic Wave, Green Onyx and Palomino. We also provide inspiration for where these color wonders can look particularly beautiful.
The formation of natural stones
Natural stones are formed over millions of years through geological processes. Rock layers are formed in the earth's crust under high pressure and high temperatures.
Natural stones are mainly divided into three main types of stones a: igneous rocks, sedimentary rocks and metamorphic rocks.
Each of these species arises in different ways and has its own characteristic properties.
The colors of natural stones arise from the various minerals that are stored during the creation process. Iron, copper, manganese and other trace elements ensure the variety of colors that make each stone unique.
Natural stones as pieces of world history
Every natural stone tells its own story. These stones are witnesses of past geological epochs and reflect the development of the earth. Their colors and patterns are the result of millions of years of geological processes, making them a piece of world history that we can admire in our homes and gardens.
Colored natural stones and their individual beauty

Its green splendor is particularly effective when combined with gold or black table frames.
Calacatta Viola
Calacatta Viola is an exceptional marble from Tuscany in Italy that impresses with its white and purple veins.
