Limestone
Galala
Beige limestone with an irregular net of deep beige stylolites that give a flowery ('fiorito') look when cut across the bed. Used for floors, cladding, basins, kitchen tops and outdoors.
We price it with your kitchen, measured for cutting once the cabinets are in, so it follows your walls.
