Chanceaux Limestone, also referred to as Pierre de Chanceaux, is a semi-hard, fine-grained oolitic limestone with a color palette ranging from white to yellow. Occasionally, it exhibits veins of red, adding a touch of warmth and character to its appearance. This limestone variety originates from the Jurassic period, specifically the Bathonian stage, within the Secondary era.
Quarried in Chanceaux, located in the Cote-d'Or region, approximately 35 kilometers northwest of Dijon in France, this limestone carries a rich geological history. The fine-grained texture lends it a refined and elegant aesthetic, making it a sought-after material for various architectural and decorative applications.
