Azul Monica Limestone Slabs & Tiles, Portugal Blue Limestone

Limestone is a type of sedimentary rock composed by millions of years of heat, wind and pressure to form rock beds in oceans and rivers. Consequently, Limestone often captures fossilized plants, animal life and seashells. Visually the material is quite consistent, with little pattern or veining. It consists mainly of calcite. This material can be either polished or honed (matt finish). Limestone is more porous than marble, thus more likely to stain. Sealing is vital. Suitable applications for Limestone are vanity bench tops, fireplace surrounds and tabletops. We strongly recommend against using Limestone for kitchen benchtops.
