Quarried in northern Mesopotamia, Turkey, along the Tigris River, Orient Fossil Limestone carries a soft, romantic pink tone. Formed during the Miocene epoch, 5 to 23 million years ago, this biogenic limestone preserves a fossilized reef of oysters (Crassostrea) and corals that once thrived in the shallow Tethys Sea. Its surface reveals countless shell fragments and organic textures, like a frozen moment of ancient marine life. Each slab tells a story of ancient oceans, offering a unique blend of natural history and understated beauty.
