Description
When talking to Jim Lytell Marble and Stone Restoration, it helps to know about your stone floors. Coquina, shellstone, coral stone, and fossil stone are all calcareous sedimentary stone. They are all essentially limestone composed predominantly of shells, fossils, or coral loosely cemented by calcite. Coquina stone contains fragments of shell and sand, which protrude from the surface. Raw coquina stone from a quarry looks similar to a clump of sand tightly packed with tiny shells and larger shell fragments. Fossil stone primarily contains the imprint of various fossilized remains. There can be protrusions within the rock, but they are more spread out and not clumped as tightly as Coquina stone. Natural Coral stone is harvested from dormant coral reefs, and contains the intricate designs and textures of living coral. They all are quarried mostly in Florida, Texas, and Barbados.
