Limestone

Limestone is sedimentary rock consisting mostly of organic material such as skeletons and shells of marine creatures and sediments. It is formed by material which settles to the bottom of bodies of water, and over millions of years, solidifies (lithifies) into solid rock. It is a great material for bathrooms and fireplace surrounds because of the warm, rich look it provides.

Coral stone, marble and limestones featuring fossilize plant life, shells, small invertebrates and other organic elements have and continue to be in high demand through out the Middle East market and other parts of the World. There are many factors that contribute to its popularity.

Its unique characteristics:  

Inclusion of fossilized ancient shells, plant and marine life offers a truly one of a kind visual experience. It connects the interior or exterior space to the natural elements and our ancient marine history in a truly profound way. Mollusks including Ammonoids an extinct group of marine mollusk animals, trilobites, brachiopods, or other invertebrates are just a few of the fossils included in natural stone.

  Color Tone:

The majority of coral stone and those marble and limestones depicting fossilized matter are available in neutral colors ranging from very light creams to medium and dark beige colors. The neutral palette provides a strong foundation from which to build your overall design.

 Versatility in application.

Depending on the color tone, size format and finish selected, this material will work within a variety of design styles. A large format polished tile in a light cream color tone will blend perfectly in a contemporary elegant setting.
