Rosal

DESCRIPTION

The Rosal is a beige limestone, with thin to medium grain and uniform background. It presents some slight dark shades/clouds with a more or less regular pattern. In terms of hardness it is considered a soft natural stone, but recommended for most types of interior applications. The main variations have more or less vein, or are cut in favor or against the vein.

The Rosal has seen an extraordinary demand of blocks from the Chinese market, which made this limestone quite expensive and inaccessible for most suppliers. Today and with considerable less demand from the Chinese market, the price has gone down and this has become once again a very interesting limestone for different projects supply.
