General
Characteristics
Compact limestone, fine grain and ivory clear cream colour with noduly
fossils in white colour and streaked with yellow colour.
About its extraction, in medium and small size blocks, is made in the
called Serranía de Loja (Granada), in working fronts of scanty
length quarries, of one only bank.
About it superficial endimg, takes any suggested types of this kind of
stones, its use must be adapted to the current rules on limestones what
take shine from the polish.
Representative works made in this material:
Lehendakaricha (Vitoria)
Palacete en Paseo de la Bomba (Granada)
