Marble

Carthage Crushed Limestone no longer produces marble; however, we still have a large inventory of un-cut and cut stone. This is great for counter tops, flagging, sculpting, and landscaping. In fact we have numerous customers that come from all over the United States that use our marble in sculpting. Certain industries also use our blocks of marble for drilling technology and lab research on drill bits for the oil field industry.

Carthage Fleuri

Carthage Fleuri, also known as Carthage Marble, is considered a "Class A" marble. It is like a delicate abstract design done in charcoal on dappled light grey paper, as well as having very light pearly grey sparkles that appear almost white in sunlight. The neutral contrast will make any project stand out and will last forever. Rising above the common limestone, it is capable of taking on a high polish which brings out a deeper shade of grey. This marble can still be seen throughout the United States on many federal buildings. We are very proud to have taken part in producing such a fine quality marble.

Ozark Famosa is one of the finest and most useful of all American interior marbles. It belongs to "Group C" marbles and is very distinguished. Its coloring and markings are rich and warm. Bands of dappled russet brown eight to ten inches wide alternate with bands of buff grey in equal width. Running parallel with these bands of blending color is a pattern of lovely white crystalline markings.

Its beautiful background of tan, cream and beige really make the wine colored stylolite veins stand out as they flow through this wonderful marble. The background is predominantly a very fine grained crystalline limestone with patches of coarse crystalline calcite and some fossil fragments. The stylolites have been geologically cemented with iron oxide that accounts for the rich rosy red color. Notre Dame belongs to the "Group C" category.
