Pinolite, also known as Pinolith, Pinolithstein, or Märbelstein, is an extremely rare stone consisting of and Howlite, Dolomite and Graphite.

Pinolite, also known as Pinolith, Pinolithstein, or Märbelstein, is an extremely rare stone consisting of and Howlite, Dolomite and Graphite. It forms when Howlite (Magnesite) nodules settle in layers of Graphite and Dolomite before becoming encased and frozen in time. This mineral has a very unique chemical makeup and was first discovered in 1873 in the Lower Tauern Mountain range in Austria.
Pinolite was extensively mined by Germany and the Axis troops during WWII for its heavy Manganese content. Once the war came to completion and Germany surrendered, mining operations continued up until 1991 when the land was finally sold. It's estimated that between 1904 and 1991, 5.5 million tons of Pinolite was extracted from the Lower Tauern Mountain range. Most of this material was melted down, making the current pieces of Pinolith today that much more valuable.

The Canadian Pinolite formation was brought to light in the mid 1990's. The Kohorst family rediscovered it in 2015. In 2018 the CPC (Canadian Pinolite Corporation) discovered the stone by accident while mining for gold.
At the time, the CPC did not understand the nature of the discovery until the fall of 2018 when they had a third-party laboratory along with the University of British Columbia Okanagan campus run a few tests. The UBC professor of geochemistry is said to have been awestruck by the discovery and has just recently conducted a test where he found zircons in the stone that date back over 544 million years old.
