Lycian White Limestone Slabs

Lycian White Limestone History 

Quarried from Antalya’s coastal mountains in southwestern Turkey, Lycian White limestone carries geological memory in the form of marine fossils and calcium deposits formed beneath ancient seas. The region’s quarrying tradition extends from the cliff-carved tombs of the Lycian civilization to today’s extraction, producing fine-grained white limestone valued for its thermal stability and consistent cream coloration.

Types and Options

Lycian White is part of Turkey’s distinguished family of white limestones, which includes Limra limestone. While these stones share a common origin in Antalya, each offers a distinctive surface character. Lycian White is prized for its creamy warmth and fine texture, while Limra tends toward cooler whites with more pronounced fossil patterns.
