Jerusalem Marble Stone

Friday, May 22nd, 2009

By Ben Needles

  Jerusalem stone is native to the land of Israel. It is also known as meleke, which means royal or king like in the Arabic language. This stone has been used extensively for building many monuments including the famous Western Wall.

The stone found extensive usage in the architectural masterpieces of the yesteryears. This exquisite stone is found in almost all types of architectures across the globe. Traditionally, marble was used to decorate the hallways of cathedrals and palaces. It is still the most noticeable feature of the mansions and palaces of the rich and mighty. At the same time, it is also found in the baths of the most modest homeowners.

Jerusalem Marble stone is a type of limestone that is found in Israel. It is composed mainly of calcite or dolomite, or a mixture of these carbonate minerals. Upon cutting, this stone is pure white in color. It is also soft and of a workable consistency. However, a prolonged exposure to heat and pressure causes a change in both the color as well as the consistency of the stone.

Jerusalem stone hardens on exposure to heat and its color may change to a slightly beige hue. This stone is found in colors like pink, off-white as well as golden. The stone is basically a white, rough and crystalline that is found as a thickly bedded limestone in the Upper Turonian Stage of the Bina Formation of the Late Cretaceous age.

Jerusalem marble stone is actually a type of metamorphosed limestone. Some of the other names given to the stone are Antique gold, Desert gold, Desert gray, Hebron bone or Yatta pink. Jerusalem Marble Stone is used to sculpt statues and monuments. It is also used to build colonnades, and religious structures like churches and mosques. The stone is used for paneling, wainscoting and is also used as flooring.

The Jerusalem marble stone is imported from Israel and sales in United States. Today warehouses fabricate and sell a wide range of products made from Jerusalem stone like including Flooring, Countertops, Fireplace Surrounds, Tub Surrounds, Columns, Showers etc. Jerusalem marble stone is considered as a versatile stone. However, this stone develops stains quickly and hence, requires regular cleaning. The surface of the Jerusalem stone can take high polish. Since the stone endures natural erosion very well, it is used as a high-quality building stone, as well as commercial marble.

Jerusalem stone reflects sunlight very well and shines with a golden hue. Perhaps that was the reason why the stone was used as a surface decoration material in the olden times. If you want to add a touch of royal elegance to your house, you must consider imparting decorative elements made out of Jerusalem marble stone in your home decor.
