STONE OF THE MONTH - FEBRUARY 2019: JURA LIMESTONE

26-02-2019

The Jura limestone is a fine-grained, sedimentary limestone with a rich fossil content that was formed about 150 million years ago. Thanks to its warm colour shades, spectacular fossils and technical properties, it is one of the most popular limestone type.

It is located in the Altmühltal region of Bavaria, Germany. Many forms of appearance are possible due to the various surface finishes (polished, honed, brushed, sandblasted, bushhammered, etc.).

The stone is suitable for interior flooring and wall coverings, stairs, windowsills, worktops, etc., or for spectacular facades and pavings in outdoor. It is also ideal for large-size tiles or custom-made stone elements. In addition to the classic and best-known Jura-Gelb (yellowish-beige) limestone, there is also a greyish version (Jura-Grau). Some of its layer is vein-cut, creating a spectacular appearance similar to travertine limestone.
