I was going to do a Halloween looking stone for Slab Sunday today, but I didn't want you all to always associate that stone with Halloween so I decided against it.
So instead, today I'm talking about one of my very favorite limestones.....
Seagrass Limestone.
Seagrass limestone comes from a bedrock quarry in Turkey.
It is a sedimentary stone formed on shallow sea beds from monsoonal rains washing minerals, plants and animals into the sea.
The above picture from Arizona Tile's website is a Tumbled Seagrass Limestone backsplash on granite countertops.
Structurally, Seagrass is a very hard limestone. Some common characteristics that are visible in this limestone are quartz veins, grey portions and many fossilized shells in each piece. Some slabs have a lot more fossils than others. It's fun to pick out your exact slabs and see all the fossils.
I have to admit, I'm a bit partial to Seagrass Limestone because it's in my own house. I have it on my Powder Vanity and in my Laundry Room. I'll show pictures here someday. I've loved it though, I've had it in for a few years now and no complaints! It's probably my favorite stone that we have in our house.
Seagrass limestone is available in 2 cm and 3 cm slabs as well as tile.

Love the Seagrass limestone. I've used it a few times for projects I've done on floors, but I haven't used it as a countertop yet.
I'd love to see your laundry and powder!
I would do almost anything for that tub.
AMAZING!!!

Where can I find a slab piece for a shower threshold? I've only found it in tiles.

You should be able to find a leftover slab for a thresh hold in a fabricator's remnant yard. Call around first though since it's not a really common color.
Good luck!
