Where is porphyry found?
Porphyry is found along the western coastlines of both North and South America and in the Southwest Pacific Ocean. The igneous rock forms when lava cools along the borders of tectonic plates. On 1stDibs, shop a collection of porphyry furniture, lighting and decorative objects.
