Anyone searching for gold in the South Tyrolean riverbeds will often find gneiss. It shimmers and glitters a wonderful silver colour. The name is old German and means something like "spark".

In February 2014, a rockslide occurred in Tramin in the South Tyrolean lowlands. The Tramin dolomite came down from the mountain into the valley. The hard impact split it into two pieces, but that doesn't matter to a stone. The blocks were cut and gradually made available for interior design and interior decoration. It won't be there forever: That's what makes this special dolomite so beautiful and also valuable.
