  Etymologically, the word porphyry comes from the Latin “porphyra”, which means “purple stone.” This terminology was utilized by Egyptians and Romans in order to assign a specific red volcanic stone that was much more resistant and harder than the granite itself.This natural stone had kept throughout the centuries an immense historic, symbolic and esthetical meaning, remaining as a unique material for paving and coating. Its physic characteristics and the cohesion of the minerals that formed it, allow to the building to be eternal even under the most adverse climatic conditions
