“Everything in the world is afraid of time, but even time is afraid of the Egyptian pyramids” – says a famous proverb. There is no material on the Earth as tough and durable as granite, also called “eternal stone”. Granite is one of only few materials that contain both the skill of medieval craftsmen and the thought of modern engineers. Marble, on the other hand is a more delicate stone. This is what Michelangelo was saying about marble: “Marble is a soul of the universe, its clearest essence created by God. It is valuable not only as a symbol of God, but also as a reflection of God’s image. Such delicate beauty can only be created by the God himself.
