Santanyí rock is calcarenite that is quite pure, with barely any matrix. Its origin is calculated to be in the first half of a marine sequence of the Upper Miocene.
Its most distinctive features are its hardness, which allows it to be cut and carved, its low absorption and its resistance to compression. All these features have made Santanyí rock an indispensable element for
construction, the pride and mark of identity of the Santanyí region. |
