Description:
This stunningly beautiful British stone is the only true marble on mainland Britain. For this reason Ledmore has become a most treasured marble not only in Britain but right across the globe. Traditionally this marble consists of large white veins made up of calcium compounds, lime green veining originating from copper compounds and grays and blacks from organic compounds this is British geological history brought to life. With the initial deposits laid down 600 million years ago, the veining is relatively young at 430 million years. This occurred when syenite igneous rock thrust its way up through the Durness Limestone deposits, creating Serpentine and Brucite, the colours of which have been brought to life now the blocks are slabbed and polished.
