A limestone counter top is velvety smooth, like soapstone and shares a color palette similar to Travertine only with less pattern variation.

A unique characteristic of this natural stone is the fossils and seashells often found embedded in the surface adding an organic element to the countertop.

Sleek and exotic darker colors make limestone a good match for contemporary design, yet it's lighter earthy tones create a calm and comfortable feeling that works well in a traditional, old-world or French country kitchen too.
