Description

The sedimentary rock is mostly made up of sediments from an ancient
marine sediments that rose up when the African Plate collided with the European Plate resulting in the formation of a band of mountains that extends from Spain to Hungary. The immense pressure created by the movement of the earth’s crust fractured the limestone. The fractures in the stone were subsequently filled by iron and manganese hydroxide deposited by water percolating through the fragmented rocks creating the beautiful natural patterns. The cracks were later sealed by the deposition of calcite crystals. This event is thought to have occurred some 50 million years ago.
