Shell Beige Fossil Limestone Slabs For Dining Tops

Price : $100 /M²

Shell Beige Fossil Limestone is a sedimentary limestone quarried in Turkey. It presents warm creamy‑beige base with naturally embedded shell fossil fragments across slabs. Subtle tone variations and faint thin veins spread over the surface. Suitable for interior & exterior wall cladding, flooring, fireplace surrounds, window sills and countertop projects. Common finishes: honed, brushed, tumbled, polished. Being porous limestone, sealing treatment is highly recommended for stain protection

Abrasion Resistance: Stable wear and scratch resistance, ideal for luxury indoor flooring, natural fossil feature walls, coastal-style space decoration and high-end customized stone projects

GANGSAW SUITABILITY

Shell Beige Fossil Limestone raw blocks are fully compatible with standard gangsaw processing equipment for mass slab cutting. Standard quarry block dimensions fully adapt to conventional slab specification cutting. The stone features stable internal sedimentary structure and uniform density; fossil distribution and natural tone difference bring gentle natural variation among individual slabs, generating low controllable processing loss and stable finished-product yield. It is a highly distinctive natural fossil limestone material for high-end interior design and personalized architectural engineering projects.

Recommended Processing: Gangsaw slabs (1.8 cm & 2 cm), followed by calibration, edge trimming and honed / polished / brushed surface treatment

Expected Slab Yield: Approximately 76-86 slabs per block (based on 1.8 cm thickness)

Polish Result: Uniform warm creamy-beige low-gloss smooth surface with clear natural shell fossil textures, presenting delicate organic layering, soft neutral warm tone and exclusive primitive natural luxury decorative appearance

About

Country and Quarry Origin

Main quarries in Turkey & Egypt sedimentary limestone mines, stable fossil-bearing raw blocks, uniform light beige base with embedded shell fossils for high-end slab production.

Texture

Fine compact sedimentary texture, low internal loose pores after filling treatment, stable structure suitable for polishing, honed and other slab deep processing.

Pattern and Veining

Soft beige base scattered with natural shell fossil fragments & faint mineral linear veins, irregular fossil distribution creates unique natural retro texture, controllable batch color difference.

Durability

Good indoor stability, moderate freeze-thaw performance; exterior use needs anti-sealing protection, long service life for indoor constant temperature decoration scenarios.

Available Surfaces

Brushed, Combed, Leathered

Acid Sensitivity

Poor acid resistance, carbonate matrix reacts with weak acid; strictly avoid acidic cleaners and long acid rain exposure to prevent surface erosion & fossil blur.

Physical Properties

Density
2540 to 2640 KGS/M³
Flexural Strength
7.5 to 10.5 MPa

Calcite92%
Other Minerals3%

Chemical Properties

Main CaCO₃ 91~95%, low SiO₂ content, soluble carbonate component, easy to react with acidic substances leading to surface corrosion.

Installation Guide

Wall cladding adopts flexible adhesive to prevent hollowing; floor slabs use anti-crack mortar; outdoor use requires full penetrating sealing and anti-acid protection.

Cleaning & Maintenance

Only neutral stone cleaner allowed; regularly replenish penetrating sealant; wipe acidic spills instantly to protect fossil texture from erosion.

Custom Cutting

Standard slab sizes customizable, thickness 15~50mm available, tailor sizes for wall panels, vanity tops, stair slabs per engineering drawings.
