Myra Limestone
Named after the ancient Lycian city of Myra, this is one of the loveliest fossiliferous limestones Turkey produces. Its bone-white to soft creamy-beige field is brought to life by delicate fossil markings and shell traces — the quiet imprint of millions of years of geological history. The effect is serene, organic, and unmistakably Mediterranean, recalling the sunlit coastlines of the region from which it is drawn.
It is well suited to interior and exterior flooring and wall cladding, façades, pool decks and surrounds, stairs, and decorative cut-to-size work.
Also known as: Antalya Limestone · Limra · Myra Beige · Moonlight Beige · JM Limestone
About Myra Limestone
Quarried in the Demre–Kale district of Antalya in southern Turkey, Myra is notably hard and homogeneous for a limestone, which is why it performs so confidently outdoors and across large areas. Its light tone reflects sunlight — a real asset for façades and copings in hot climates — while its non-slip behaviour when brushed or sandblasted makes it a sound choice around water and in high-traffic walkways. The subtle fossil detail gives each piece its own quiet individuality.
It pairs beautifully with warmer travertines and darker stones, which we are glad to quote alongside it.
