TRADITIONAL
Traditional Porphyry cubes have two natural surfaces, top and bottom, and split sides. Size of head is variable, to be suitable for laying in overlapping arches, peacock tails or circles. As all the products with natural surface, thickness is variable, and colour is mix.
Each cube is handmade on by one. Today, as in the past, although the aid of modern machines involved in their production, the result is greatly influenced by the skill of the workers, that split and select the cubes on the basis of the thickness of the raw slabs.
Porphyry cubes are supplied loose or in crates. Colour is mix, or can be selected in mix red or mix grey.
