Fossil Limestone is the classical
building stone used during the Byzantium and Ottoman Empire Era for buildings in Istanbul such as Higha Sophia, the Mosque of Suleyman the Magnificent, Byzantium walls surrouding the old city of Istanbul.
Fossil limestone is made up of the accumulation of oyster sea shells over ages. It is very soft when initially unearthed, allowing the eased production of architectural elements such as columns, window sills, vases; however strengthens with time as it looses its innate water molecules. Fossil limestone is very light in color and is very decorative with its rich fossil structure for both indoor and outdoor usage.
