Antonio Vedova (Zurich), dr. jur. Peter Halter (Luzern) and Andrea Hinnen (Luzern) founded Cristallina SA. From that year on, they began the extraction of the unique and authentic Swiss marble, Cristallina, from the quarry in Peccia, 1,200 meters above sea level. Initially, the marble was extracted at the foot of the rock face with a jackhammer. The blocks were then split with a wedge and hammer, with holes being drilled in succession every 15 cm.<\/p>\n<p><strong>1947<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A year later Cristallina SA introduced helical wire cutting machines. Thanks to these, it was possible to cut larger blocks directly on the rock face without damaging them.<\/p>\n<p><strong>1980<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The extraction, carried out until 1980 at an altitude of 1200 meters above sea level (m.s.m.) was moved to 1400 m.s.m.. The reason was the increasingly high mining walls and the lack of space for storage due to the incrising amount of surplus material from the cuts.<\/p>\n<p><strong>1987<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Starting in 1987, diamond wire cutters were introduced. This method of extraction, which is still used today, allowed for greater flexibility and less physical effort for the workers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2007<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In 2007, a chain saw, that could make a 3.5-meter cut and extract the blocks directly from the rock face, was introduced for the first time.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1946 In 1946, dr.
