Røros was designated as an UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1980 on thebase of mining culture represented by, e.g., unique wooden architecture. Slag pieces are composed of three partsdiffering in glass to crystallites ratio.

Temperature gradient and volatiles content weredetermined as the main factor influencing crystallization process in this material.
