Description of the stone: Tuff is a porous stone and therefore light and easy to work. It originates from volcanic eruptions when hot magma is hurled into the air and cools after returning to the ground. In the Eifel mountains, the tuff layers around the former volcanoes may reach nearly 100 m thickness giving an idea how much material from inside the Earth the geological forces bring up.

The latest innovation from Mendiger Basalt company is Tuffkania: tuff ashlars which can be composed (with or without mortar) to walls for gardening or landscaping.
