English term or phrase: parallel plane
Bonsoir!

Porphyry is a stone material of volcanic origin that is split into parallel planes for use as a semi-finished product.

Cela signifie-t-il que la roche est découpée en "tranches"?
Merci!

  -> oui c'est ce que j'avais pensé mais j'ai préféré rester générale parce que le porphyre ne semble pas avoir ces plans de clivage naturels? (Porphyre: Roche endogène montrant de grands minéraux (feldspaths, etc.) sur un fond uniforme ou à grain très fin.

Reference: Porphyry

Reference information:
Litosonline:
In more recent times the more famous porphyry is from Trentino, a volcanic rock which is extracted in the region Trentino- Alto Adige (Italy), characterised macroscopically by felsic phenocrystals immersed in a mass of red colour or pinkish grey. In the region of the meridian Dolomites, around 260 million years ago, there were important flow of lava (Brondi et al.1974) which formed volcanic rock on becoming solid, the steady characteristic of which is the presence of diverse fracture systems developed during the cooling of the lava and / or during the formation of the Alpine orogenic belt that conditions the natural splitting of porphyry in slabs.
