MEXICAN SHELLSTONE is a unique, moderately dense limestone from the Yucatan Peninsula. It#s an o$%white
stone that is laden with seashells. Even though this limestone appears to be o$%white, in the sun light
it appears bright white, a phenomenon that gives the city in which it is quarried, the name of &The White
