Fossilstone

Fossilstone is a trading name given to a highly fossiliferous stone, often described as being from the foothills of the Himalayas.

It is often referred to as ‘fossilstone marble’ but this is inaccurate; pieces may include limestone or other minerals and be from various locales.

Fossilstone is sold polished, as a display item. It is sometimes used as a display piece, sometimes for jewellery, sometimes even for ornamental stone in buildings, etc.
