Dear Sir or Madam, I'm in charge of finding substitution stones for the restoration of an old church in Belgium. It is partially built with a local Belgian Kalktuff that is not extracted anymore in our regions. So I have to find a substitution stone. Could it be possible for you to provide me with some information or a technical datasheet of your stone ? Would it be possible for you to send me a piece of your stone to show to the architects for whom I'm working. It would be important to compare your product to the original one. I do not have for the moment any idea of the volume of stone that would be necessary for the restoration. It won't be huge volumes. I really hope to get your feedback soon. Let me know if you need more information on the project. Thank you very much for your support.

Dear Sir, Dear Madam, In the context of the restauration of a small (old) house in Austria in which a beige tuffstone was used, I am currently looking to buy some tuffstone to create new windows / doors and noted that the Gorenja Vas tuff is very similar to the tuffstone already used on the house. Could you please let me know whether this tuffstone can be bought and, in the affirmative, what size(s) would be available and whether we could have the stones cut to meet our needs (i.e., tailored)? Many thanks in advance and kind regards,
