Seagrass Limestone
Seagrass Limestone is one of the most distinctive and visually striking limestone varieties available — a rich olive green with dense fossil markings that tell a geological story 400 million years in the making. Every piece shows genuine ancient marine life preserved in stone — crinoids, shells, and organic matter embedded in the olive-green calcium carbonate matrix.
The geology of Seagrass — why it's so distinctive
Seagrass Limestone forms from ancient reef and sea floor deposits where dense populations of marine organisms — crinoids, brachiopods, corals, and shell fragments — were buried and lithified over hundreds of millions of years. The olive-green color results from iron and clay mineral content within the original sediment. The fossil markings are literal biological records of ancient marine life, preserved in extraordinary detail within the stone. No two pieces are identical — Seagrass is one of the most genuinely unique natural stone surfaces available.
How Seagrass compares to other green and organic stones:
Seagrass Limestone
Olive green with dense fossil markings. The most organic and geological of all stone varieties.
Ming Green Marble
Soft sage-green, subtle veining. More refined and architectural than Seagrass.
Nova Blue Limestone
Blue-gray limestone with fine fossil detail. Cooler and more uniform than Seagrass.
Available finishes:
Polished
High-gloss surface that intensifies the olive green and reveals the fossil detail in sharp, rich contrast. The most dramatic Seagrass expression — for feature walls, kitchen backsplashes, and statement applications.
Honed
Smooth matte surface that softens the green and creates a more understated, architectural result. Better for floor applications where the polished surface's reflectivity would be distracting.
Best applications:
Kitchen Backsplash
Bathroom Feature Walls
Shower Walls
Bathroom Floors
Fireplace Surrounds
Powder Rooms

Order samples before purchasing: Seagrass Limestone has V4 variation — fossil density, color intensity, and the specific marine organism markings vary significantly between pieces. This is the geological signature of the stone and cannot be controlled or standardized. Free samples are essential before ordering — evaluate in your actual space to confirm the color and fossil character work with your design.
