 Mother Nature does
wonderful things. We discovered the wonders of nature in the stone that has
developed over millions, sometimes hundreds of millions of years. For our
slate wall clocks, we seek out the best slate
for it’s diversity of colors, patterns and it’s abundance in
countries like Italy, Spain, Turkey, Mexico, China, United States, India,
Greece, Canada, France and Brazil.
The minerals in stone came from the
same liquid and gas minerals that formed the Earth. The Earth developed as a
massive body of gas and liquid minerals that slowly cooled and condensed to
solid core.
Through pressure, the Earths crust began to form and heavy
minerals were forced down to the core of the Earth, where they were trapped. As
the crust got thicker, it squeezed around the inner core, which created intense
pressure and heat from the Earth.
 Crystals and other solid forms began to grow from the
mineral vapors that were being released.
As the Earth’s crust
began to expand and erode, heat and pressure pushed the solid minerals up to
the Earth’s surface, which formed colossal rock beds. It took up to a
hundred million years to form some of these beds. Many of these beds are now
used as quarries where stone is mined.
Displaying a
custom wall clock made of these materials
gives you a chance to reflect on just how wonderful our Earth is, Everyday.
