MATERIAL:
Fossilized Limestone this is a natural product and if you look closely you can observe naturally occurring fossilized seashell and organic characteristics throughout, no two pieces are exactly the same. As such, each tile will have its own set of unique characteristics. Although our artisans try their best to classify the stone into common groups, visible contrast between the tiles may occur. Our stone, as with almost all types of stone, has filler in holes and gaps to provide an even surface, this is not a flaw, it is a part of the stonework process.

THE CRAFT:
Handcrafted using a unique stone tile inlay craft, traditional to the Philippine Islands.
Our stone is quarried by hand and is considered a fossilized limestone, which is then carved by hand into smooth and rough tiles. Limestone can be a soft and porous material, we use a marine grade hollow timber form to align the tiles, with provides a strong and stable form.
Surface tiles are polished to seal and protect against moisture and stains. Care will still need to be taken to ensure you get longevity from your piece.
