Cyprus Limestone Blocks, Cyprus Beige Limestone

Limestone is a sedimentary rock composed largely of the mineral calcite and variable amounts of silica ,clay, silt and sand. The primary source of the calcite in limestone is most commonly marine organisms. These organisms settled down in the bottom of the sea along with other minerals and under high pressure (about 440 bars or 4500m of water deep) transformed through thousand of years creating in this way most types of limestone.
Limestone is very common in architecture as a building material as well as a decorative material. Ancient theaters, temples and castles in Cyprus were built with the local limestone.
Cyprus Limestone has a very soft yellowish color and combined with its texture can give a unique aesthetic touch on applications like facades, floor tiles, fireplaces, columns, balustrades, steps, pool decks and exterior or interior wall cladding.
