The Albi Limestone has a pretty even cream white color, commonly used to line façades because of its resistence to harsh weather conditions and because of its natural beauty that adds a timeless look to any bulding or construction.
The Albi Limestone is a natural easthetic wonder, sometimes even used to make sculptures and other ornamental elements to decorate the most select places. It usually has a white color with grey undertones that it’s normally even, with hardly any veins or pores but with some visible fossils. The presence and amount of fossils in the stone depends mainly on the location of the mineral deposit. These natural stones are known for their exclusivity, given that each piece has taken thousands of years to form and is completely unique. It’s formation depends entirely on the atmospheric factors that erode the rock throughout the years.
Albi Limestone in Construction

This rock is not always used to line construction exteriors, but its use it’s fairly common to embellish and protect façades from natural disasters.
