Dimensional limestone is a sedimentary rock, consists essentially of carbonates, often having a high percentage of silica which gives it its hardness and polishability. The two most important constituents are calcite and dolomite. Lime stone is generally a fine grained rock, found in various color and shades.

Kota Stone has found varied application from interior flooring, wall cladding to exterior use for paving and facades for building of all kinds and types.

Jaisalmer Stone is suitable for stone-craft work including screens, statues, table tops and all possible stone handicraft application.
