2011 Timeless Swedish-made crafts in Diabas. We are a company that manufactures products in Swedish Diabas. We have created a niche for us in manufacturing products that you usually do not associate with Diabas eg Roof and Fireplaces. All manufacturing is done in Glimåkra in northeast Skåne. The proximity to the quarries allows us usually choice boulders for each project. This means that we always maintain a high quality of the material. What is diabas? Black, shiny and legendary. Diabase is a natural resource with a fascinating history that has characterized much of southern Sweden. There is a black treasure in the area where Skåne, Blekinge and Småland are met, a treasure whose turbulent and dramatic history can be compared with the gold rush in Klondike, a treasure for over 100 years has fascinated artists and architects from different cultures. A treasure which, from it´s fiery origin was turned into the black Diabas. In Klondike´s mines they where mining Gold, in the Black Mountains we are mining the Diabas – ”Black Gold” Diabas or Hyperit Diabas that the real name, was formed about 1 billion years ago when the hot lava pushed up from the earth and cooled. Mining began around 1870, Stone industry grew rapidly and it slowed down the emigration to America. Within ”Stenriket” there are over 100 quarries and some of them going on break today.
