Beaumaniere Dark Limestone

Limestone is used for a variety of applications because of it's versatility. It can be intricately carved, turned for columns or balustrades or used as flooring for example. There many different colors of limestone and the textures vary as well. Travertine, a variety of limestone formed in pools by the slow precipitation of hot, mineral-rich spring water, is generally used for flooring applications. The "holes" characteristic of travertine was created when carbon dioxide bubbles were trapped as the stone was being formed. Although the classic travertines are recognizable by their dark colors, dark reds are available to dark brown veining.
