Seagrass limestone is a fossil-laden green-gray stone that is quarried in Turkey and is used for kitchen countertops and backsplashes. It can also be used in flooring, stairs, wall cladding, bath surfaces, and fireplace surrounds. The soft look of seagrass limestone makes it feel warmer than cold stones like granite. According to designer Heather E. Adams in the Dec 2005 issue of Inspired House magazine, “seagrass limestone creates a calming flow in a home, especially when installed as large tiles butted tightly together with matching grout.” You can buy the stone in solid slabs or 12″ and 18″ tiles at $5-$10 per square foot.
