Description

Pietra Paesina polished slab from a new locality in the Appenines near Piacenza in Italy. Slightly diverse in structure to the Tuscan Paesina from Florence. Distinctive offsets of coloured red-brownish ferric oxyhydroxide bands are not due to displacements along rock-cutting fractures, as they superficially appear to be.  Band offsets result from different velocities of pervasively diffusing fluids, precipitating ferric oxyhydroxides in corridors bounded by sets of mineralised systematic joints. During rock weathering, calcite-filled joints operated as barriers for lateral fluid diffusion, but enabled longitudinal diffusion along healed joints. Simple laboratory experiments have been performed to simulate the formation of natural ruin marble structure.
