What comes out of Jerusalem.

LimestoneSelect

Jerusalem Gold

Honey · cream · pale rust. A broad regional name linking historic architecture with several quarry beds and grades.

Best for: Floors, walls, fireplaces and quiet architectural counters.

Watch for: Most ornamental limestones are acid-sensitive even when sold as marble.

OnyxCollector

Holy Land Onyx · Historic Record

Banded translucent carbonate · archival monochrome record. A public-domain historical record proves that polished translucent calcite slabs were processed in the region; it does not represent current warehouse inventory.

Best for: Backlit walls, bars, powder rooms and protected collector features.

Watch for: Translucent calcite onyx is soft, brittle and acid-sensitive.
