The rock, breccia, has very few uses. It can be used as fill or road base where the technical requirements are minimal. It is rarely used in important projects because its composition, degree of cementation and competence are highly variable.

The word “breccia” is used as a trade name for a group of dimension stone products with a broken, angular pattern. Names such as “Breccia Oniciata,” “Breccia Pernice,” and “Breccia Damascata” are cut and polished limestones and marbles that reveal a broken, angular pattern. These breccias are used as architectural stones for interior building veneers, tiles, window sills, and other decorative applications. These are proprietary names applied to the rock from specific quarries.
