Limestone

Limestone is a naturally formed sedimentary rock stone, that is often composed with the minerals aragonite of calcite. Limestone takes many years to form underneath the surface of the earth and there are no any other stone that exhibits the unique features of Limestone, which makes it a popular option for all kinds of construction and landscaping projects.

Limestone paving (in forms of slabs, tiles & cobbles) is a great option for outdoor fixtures such as patios, driveways, kerning, water features, pool surroundings, walkways and more.

The colors include Jaisalmer Yellow, Kota Grey, Kota Blue, Tandoor Blue, Tandoor Yellow, Lime Pink and many more.
