ONE THREAD WINDS
Materials: Gambier limestone
Gambier Limestone, from South Australia, is composed of fragments of bryozoa or lace coral and shell deposited more than 15 million years ago, when a large part of southern Australia was covered by a warm sea. The shell debris has compacted over time to form a soft porous limestone that retains a matt finish. Occasionally larger shells and sharks teeth are found in the stone.
