WHAT ARE AGGLOMERATES
Manufactured agglomerate stone is comprised of natural stone materials bonded with an adhesive.Definition By Britannica Concise Encyclopaedia – “Large, coarse, angular rock fragments associated with lava flow that are ejected during explosive volcanic eruptions.
Although they may appear to resemble sedimentary conglomerates, agglomerates are igneous rocks that consist almost wholly of angular or rounded lava fragments of varying size and shape. Some geologists sort agglomerates into bombs, blocks, and breccia.
Bombs are ejected in a molten state, becoming rounded upon solidification, and blocks are erupted as solid fragments. Upon accumulation and solidification of the angular fragments (also known as pyroclastic), they form agglomerates.”
