Abstract
The abundance of serpentinized ultrabasic bodies in the Central Cordillera suggests the industrial application of these rocks.
In the present work, a preliminary study of its possible application as a fertilizer mixed with phosphates, as a refractory, and as an ornamental stone, both as a veneer and for floors.
