The knowledge on the igneous and metamorphic rocks has, besides the importance in petrogenetic terms relatedwith the crustal evolution, great importance in the applied sector. This knowledge has been allowed and enlargedthe use of these materials in the civil construction and in the architecture along the human existence, as coatingmaterial or as raw material for ornamental, artistic and utilitarian elements.
