Moca Creme Fine

DESCRIPTION

The Moca Creme Fine is a beige colored limestone, which is characterized by its parallel thin vein, fine grain and uniform background. Its main variations depend on the thickness of the grain and if it is cut in favour or against the vein (where it shows no parallel vein). This variation is also known as Relvinha.

The Moca Creme has huge demand worldwide and is considered by many as the ex-libris of Portuguese limestones. In recent years most block production has been bought by Chinese companies, which has turned the Moca Creme Fine (Relvinha) a more exclusive variation of the Moca Creme limestone, with higher price and less availability.
