Deze blauwe steen staat bekend om haar zeer hoge kwaliteit en brengt Mathieu Van Roggen, afkomstig uit Nederland, ertoe de steengroeve professioneel te exploiteren. <\/p><p>In 1880 rationaliseert hij zijn exploitatie en moderniseert hij het gereedschap. Hij laat er in 1904 de elektrische centrale van de steengroeve bouwen, een getuigenis van opmerkelijke industri\u00eble architectuur waarin SprimontBlue\u00ae domineert. De groep Merbes-Sprimont zal het beheer van de eigendommen verzorgen tot 1984, het jaar waarin de familie Brancaleoni eigenaar wordt van de exploitatie. In 2006 fuseert de steengroeve van Sprimont met de steengroeve van Chanxhe.   <\/p><p>Vandaag de dag is de exploitatie meer dan ooit actueel met een bedrijf dat bestaat uit een vijftigtal arbeiders, rijk aan expertise en vakmanschap dat van generatie op generatie wordt doorgegeven.<\/p><p>Sinds meer dan een eeuw hebben de Steengroeven van Sprimont bijgedragen aan de bouw van een uitzonderlijk architecturaal erfgoed, zowel in Belgi\u00eb als in het buitenland.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-783ccce e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"783ccce\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-369c214 elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"369c214\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fc734f1 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"fc734f1\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2840c5b elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"2840c5b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeInUp&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Geologie<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-45c3c7d e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"45c3c7d\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e8735dd elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"e8735dd\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>De steengroeven van Sprimont bevinden zich in het hart van een sedimentair bekken van meer dan 100 km diameter. Het heeft de sedimenten van het Onder-Devoon tot het Boven-Carboon opgevangen, gedurende een periode van ongeveer 112 miljoen jaar. <\/p><p>Het betreft conglomeraten, zandsteen en schisten (Onder-Devoon), opgebouwde kalksteen (riffen) of detritische kalksteen van het Midden-Devoon en het Onder-Carboon tot de bossen die werden omgezet in steenkool van het Boven-Carboon v\u00f3\u00f3r de grote tektonische bewegingen van het einde van het primaire tijdperk of Paleozo\u00efcum (van -540 tot -245 miljoen jaar).<\/p><p>Ingeklemd, tijdens deze grote bewegingen, tussen het Ardense Massief in het zuiden en het Brabantse Massief in het noorden, werd het Synclinorium van Dinant geplooid, herplooid en gebroken (breuken) volgens een zuidwest-noordoost as, waarbij anticlinale en synclinale
