Welsh Slate: A World Heritage Gem
We're delighted to announce that our iconic Welsh Slate has been recognised in the International World Heritage Stones list (pages 186-189). Its timeless beauty and durability continue to shape global architecture.
This volume of the First 55 IUGS Heritage Stones have been chosen by peer-review and represent only part of the collection of heritage stones that will be reconginsed by the International Union of Geological Sciences (IUGS) over the coming years.
These selections not only study the petrography, geological setting, and the geographic occurrence but also the architectural and cultural impact of the stone.
