Algeria · Limestone
also known as Mascara Limestone, Algerian Limestone, Tlemcen Limestone
Algeria's Mascara and Tlemcen provinces are home to large deposits of cream-to-beige limestone that have supplied North African and European construction for generations. The stone's warm ivory tones and fine texture position it close to Portuguese and Spanish limestones in appearance, at very competitive price points. Available through EU processors (Spain, Portugal) for North American supply.
