About This Ring
In History
Pattern
Where it's Found
Packaging
During WWII, Germany and the Axis troops heavily mined Pinestone from it’s only known source in the Austrian Alps. The high manganese content in the stone was desirable for weapon construction, so the stone was melted down and the mineral extracted. Since so much Pinestone was destroyed during this era, it makes what remains today all the more rare and valuable.
The German name for this stone is Märbelstein because of the close resemblance it has to white marble. Pinolith is the name attributed by the Austrians and refers to the pinecone like pattern of the mineral matrix.
It was first discovered in the late eighteen hundreds in the Lower Tauern mountain range in Austria, This was thought to be the only source of Pinestone in the world, until a few years ago when a group of gold miners stumbled across a new deposit in British Columbia, Canada.
