Coquillage Limestone

Coquillage Limestone: Organic History Set in Stone

Coquillage Limestone is a captivating sedimentary rock that brings the raw beauty of geological history into modern architecture. Defined by a dark, olive-grey to earthy brown matrix, this stone is densely populated with white fossilized shells and marine fragments. This striking contrast creates a natural “terrazzo” effect, offering a visual texture that is both complex and organic.

This stone serves as a bold statement piece, ideal for projects that embrace biophilic design and earthy aesthetics. Unlike uniform stones, Coquillage celebrates natural irregularity, making it a perfect match for rustic villas, vineyard estates, and contemporary spaces seeking a touch of ancestral character. Its matte finish enhances the fossil details without creating unwanted glare.
