Porphyry is a type of volcanic, igneous rock which, along with granite and other rock formations, makeup approximately 95 percent of the worlds “crust.” These rocks are the result of intense volcanic activity begun over 260 million years ago. Highly valued for its appearance, Porphyry natural stone pavers have been used for paving since ancient times. Many of these roads, plazas, and walkways are still used today.
