Description
The Moca Cream is a beige coloured limestone, which is characterized by its
parallel veinage and uniform background, when it is cut against the veinage.
However, when the same stone is cut in favour of the veinage it shows a relatively
different appearance, with a more uniform background and light beige colour,
with no signs of veinage.
Below we present you the 3 most common variations
of the Moca Cream limestone.
