Description
J. García-Talegón and co-authors age granite stone in the lab in a 2026 study of cold climate wear near Ávila, Spain. Day night swings there can top thirty degrees, which cracks stone grain by grain over time. Three local granite types were put through 90 rounds of lab aging that mimic frost, heat, and salt attack.
Sound speed through the stone and weight change were tracked on all three faces before, during, and after each aging run. All aging types shifted both measures next to fresh quarry stone. The combined frost, heat, and salt run did the most harm, and one flecked granite type wore most. A grey granite held up best, which helps guide stone choice for cold sites.
