Limestones are sedimentary rocks created by the accumulation and compression of fossils and/or stone fragments, such as quartz and calcium.

The WHITE STONES also consist of compressed accumulations of fossils and/or calcium fragments, with a texture which is soft and easily workable.
Certain types are suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.

The majority of these limestones cannot be polished and are delivered with a lightly honed finish.
The best known examples are the French white limestones, but other high quality types are available from Portugal, Turkey, etc.
These types can be used for flooring, fireplaces, statues, etc.
