Due to the ever-growing public concern about radon risk arising from building materials, the
radon exhalation rates and the natural radioactivity of eighteen dimension stones mostly …

We present a workflow to conduct a full characterization of medium to coarse-grained
igneous rocks, using portable, non-invasive, and reproducible approaches. This includes:(i) …

Natural building stones must be analysed according to a legally defined procedure to prove
that the natural radioactivity they emit is below the so-called activity index given by …

The Arbus igneous complex (SW Sardinia, Italy) represents a good example of a short time
lived post-collisional composite pluton emplaced at shallow crustal level in the external zone …

This paper deals with the geological mapping of the late-Variscan Sàrrabus pluton,(south-
eastern Sardinia), a shallow multiple and composite igneous complex dominated by several …

This paper presents the geological, structural and metallogenic map of the Arbus Pluton, a
late Variscan composite intrusion belonging to the Corsica-Sardinia Batholith. The pluton is …

The article presents a review of Sardinian granite from the point of view of its use during
different historical periods; more specifically, the historical significance of Sardinian building …

Throughout history, natural stone has been a crucial building material due to its strength,
durability, and aesthetic qualities. Today, it continues to be a valuable resource …

In this paper, we present a geological structural map (1: 100,000 scale,∼ 2300 km2 surface
area) of the Variscan basement of northern Sardinia. The map integrates field structural …

A major number of mineral deposits are related to hydrothermal processes. Therefore, the
mapping of the hydrothermally alteration areas, connected with mineralization, is crucial in …
