This Fireplace was created using a French Marble. The Quarry was opened in Antiquity but has been closed for many years and was located in Lez, Haute-Garonne, France.
This is a Crystalline Marble with large calcite crystals giving it a saccharoid appearance; the brecciatic elements, often dulled, are emphasised by red stylolites and the groundmass varies from light to dark yellow (Identifying Marble by Jacques Dubarry De Lassale).
This Fireplace will be on view at Humphries Stonemasons showroom in Hungerford. To view please contact Christine Humphries on 01488 682847
