Jura marble - its properties

Facts

The origin of Solnhofen marble

It may sound confusing to call a marble stone limestone. However, the term Jurassic marble is actually incorrect in the petrographic sense. Jura marble is actually a Limestone and the correct terms in this case would be Jurassic limestone or Jurassic limestone. However, all carbonate rocks that are polished with clover salt are simply referred to as marbles.

The Jurassic marble was formed 140 to 160 million years ago in the Treuchtlingen/Eichstätt area in Bavaria. There Animal and plant materials such as ammonites, belemnites, algae and siliceous sponges were embedded in the stone and have been preserved as fossils to this day.

Medieval castles were often built with Jura stone This is why it can still be found in historic buildings today.

There are different types and colors of Jura marble. They differ in the colors gray, creamy white or in mixed colors (e.g. gray-blue). However, yellow Jura marble, just like gray-blue Jura marble, is the best-known and most popular variety. The colors in the stone are rather discreet and can therefore be combined very well with different pieces of furniture. Thanks to their easy maintenance, they are also suitable for use as patio slabs on your terrace.

Proper care of Jura marble

To ensure that your floor lasts for a long time, you should follow a few nature-specific instructions. It is best not to use acidic cleaners on limestone, as acid would otherwise dissolve the lime and damage the surface. We recommend using water for regular cleaning. However, if your tiles have stubborn stains, you can use a natural stone basic cleaner for gentle care. Sealers or impregnations are used to improve the stain resistance of natural stone.

Protect your limestone additionally by impregnating it!

The impregnation provides an invisible protective film against soiling. This means that stains have little to no chance of settling on the surface.
