Granodiorite from the Pohorje Mountains (northeastern Slovenia) is considered the highest quality natural stone in Slovenia. Pohorje granodiorite is a grey, calc-alkaline igneous rock of Miocene age (18.7 Ma) that is distinguished by thick white aplite−pegmatite veins. It mainly consists of plagioclase, quartz, and K-feldspar, subsidiary biotite and a small amount of hornblende. It is characterized by high density, low water absorption, and low porosity, so that it exhibits high frost and salt resistance, as well as a high compressive strength and a very high flexural strength. It is widely recognized throughout the country for its durability and decorative white veins, and is the most frequently used natural stone in Slovenia today. It is mainly used as paving and cladding material for residential buildings, churches, and other structures, as well as in public areas, where it adds special character to many of the larger towns and cities. Several important buildings, some of which have been declared cultural monuments of national importance, are also decorated with this stone, including the Slovenian Parliament, the Republic Square business complex, and the Faculty of Law of the University of Ljubljana, all of which are located in Ljubljana. Since 1940, Pohorje granodiorite has also been widely used by sculptors in various monuments and fountains. RESUMELe granodiorite des montagnes de Pohorje (nord de la Slovenie) est considere comme la meilleure pierre naturelle de Slovenie. Le granodiorite de Pohorje est une roche ignee grise, calco-alcaline du Miocene (18,7 Ma) qui se distingue par la presence d’epais filons de pegmatites d’aplite blanche. Il se compose principalement de plagioclase, de quartz et de feldspath potassique, de biotite accessoire et d’une petite quantite d'amphibole. Elle est caracterisee par une densite elevee, un faible coefficient d’imbibition, et une porosite faible, de sorte qu'elle presente une haute resistance au gel et au sel, ainsi qu’une resistance elevee a la compression et une resistance tres elevee a la flexion. Elle est tres connue dans tout le pays pour sa durabilite et ses filons decoratifs blancs, et c’est la pierre naturelle la plus frequemment utilisee en Slovenie de nos jours. Elle est principalement utilisee comme materiau de pavage et de revetement pour les bâtiments residentiels, les eglises et autres constructions, ainsi que dans les espaces publics, ou elle donne un caractere distinctif aux grands villages et aux villes. Plusieurs bâtiments importants, dont certains ont ete declares monuments culturels d'importance nationale, sont egalement decorees avec cette pierre, y compris le Parlement slovene, le complexe d'affaires Place de la Republique, et la Faculte de droit de l'Universite de Ljubljana, lesquels sont tous situes a Ljubljana. Depuis 1940, le granodiorite de Pohorje a aussi ete beaucoup utilise par les sculpteurs dans divers monuments et fontaines.Traduit par le Traducteur
