Tips

Christoph

May 1, 2024

Tuff spring water is rich in dissolved carbon dioxide and becomes saturated with calcium carbonate on its way underground.
When it comes to the surface, carbon dioxide is released into the air and absorbed by the plants in and around the water for photosynthesis.
When the dissolved calcium carbonate is no longer in chemical equilibrium with the remaining carbon dioxide, it precipitates out of the water and deposits on the plants, forming a thin, crusty layer. Soft plant parts decompose beneath the stone layer, but their imprints remain visible. These carbonate layers form a porous chemical sedimentary rock called tuff.
Due to the presence of iron minerals, it can have a yellowish, brownish or reddish color. It is used for facades in construction and as
decorative stone.
