THE QUALITY OF CROATIAN LIMESTONE

Croatian Limestone has been considered as one of the best in the world. The reason is that Croatia is blessed by nature; it is built on limestone rock. This rock formation also called as Karst, extends over 100 km of the North Sea Coast and forms a beautiful surreal barren landscape. Limestone is basically a sedimentary rock formed by compression of sand, shale and shells of marine animals over millions of years that makes it porous, soft and easy to carve. The variety in Croatia, in addition, is harder and heavier than the same variety of rock formations found elsewhere in the world. The quality of Croatias limestone is renowned from ancient times because this is the only place where you can get ebony white pure limestone that can be grinded and shaped to give a beautiful white nish that stands for an eternity. Right from ancient Roman times, this natural bounty has been cherished and used in the great architectural wonders that Rome is known for. In a sense, Venice owes its existence to Croatia because the citys foundations were built out of Croatian limestone.
