Did you know that in Greece, in only two areas (in Northern Evia and in the area of Gerakini near Thessaloniki) there is a rock that looks like snow and is pure "gold" for the economy and industry?

We fly over North Evia, to a mountain that resembles fresh snow but is… white stone.
White stone or magnesite is white, relatively soft, absorbent and chemically inert. It is used as a raw material for the production of magnesium.

Magnesium is a metal used in the manufacture of light alloys for aircraft fuselages, jet engine components, missiles and missiles, cameras and optical instruments. As magnesium burns with a surprisingly bright white light, it is used in fireworks and other forms of pyrotechnics, such as flares.
