Marble, limestone and travertine all consist of calcium carbonate in one of its many forms. These stones are made from the composition of many layers of fossilized shells, bones, coral and whatever else mother nature put in there. They vary in density, porosity, and colour. Marble, limestone and travertine have a hardness similar to our teeth and bones and registers 3-4 on the Mohs scale of natural hardness.

Each of these natural stones are products of Mother Nature and need special care to maintain their natural beauty. To care for them properly one has to understand the nature of these stones as no two are alike.
