Description
Moca Medium Grain Limestone is a compact limestone characterized by its elegant beige color. This stone features a uniform background made up of coarse grains, giving it a solid and robust appearance. Notably, it contains brownish fossils that are aligned within the matrix, creating a visual effect reminiscent of parallel veining, especially when the stone is vein-cut. Quarrying takes place in Santarem, Alcanede, Portugal, where the natural beauty and texture of the limestone are carefully extracted, making it a sought-after material for various architectural and design applications.
