SOLNHOFEN HISTORY

Solnhofen limestone has been forming for over 150 million years in the region of the Jurassic Ocean in Southern Germany. This remarkable limestone quarry holds an unparralled collection of ancient fossil remains.

Solnhofen was made popular in Roman times and was used throughout Roman public baths. The Romans treasured it not only for its beauty, but for its remarkable density, fine grain, and resistance to water.

Solnhofen stone was also the stone of choice for early lithography. Its clean, fine grain and density made it the stone of choice for such artistic geniuses as Picasso, Miro, Toulouse-Lautrec, Dali and Chagal.

For hundreds of years, the Solnhofen Quarry has offered scientists and fossil hunters fascinating insights into the Earth's living history. More than 750 species of animals, plants and insects have been found there, making it one of the most important archives of life history on the planet.

Today, Solnhofen is the stone of choice for builders, architects and designers throughout the world. It has the installation ease of ceramic tile and marble with the strength of standard granite. By stone industry standards, Solnhofen limestone is rated the most durable on the market. We know you will enjoy this uniquely beautiful and historic natural flagstone.
