Lime Black

Lime Black Limestone, also known as Cuddapah Black, Madras Black, or Andhra Black, is a black-colored Indian limestone with a rough texture. Its excellent stain removability, hardness, and temperature resistance make it ideal for interior and exterior architectural applications.

This fine-grained, sedimentary rock is compact and dense, commonly used for paving stones, ledge stone, and mosaics. It’s also popular for counter tops, wall cladding, flooring, and steps. The stone is hard yet easy to cut, allowing architects to process it according to project needs.
