Shell reef is a high quality limestone extracted from a quarry near Novelda, Alicante, Spain.
It is a fossil type limestone. Its particularity, in fact, lies in the shell that is fossilised in it, which makes it an exclusive and non-commercialised material.
The shell reef is a material that stands out for its uniformity and therefore allows all type of finishes, although we recommend the aged or honed one.
Shell reef is currently seeing its popularity increased in new construction in tourist areas of Miami (LA Florida), Cancun (Mexico) and other Caribbean countries.
It is also growing in demand in private and residential construction.
It is presented in planks and we recommend its use in both exteriors and interiors, highlighting walls, facades, floors, swimming pools and fireplaces, among others.

“Extraction in the quarry is carried out by means of clearing works that will allow the blocks to be obtained. This is carried out using diamond wire machines and drilling machines. In the quarry itself, the blocks are reduced to smaller portions. From here, they are selected according to their quality and size and taken to the workshops.
The quarries from which the marble is extracted are of large dimensions, which makes it possible to extract large and medium-sized blocks, allowing for any type of processing. They are located in Novelda, Alicante, the centre of the main marble extracting and processing region in the world.”
“The use of the most innovative techniques for the extraction and transformation of natural stone, together with exhaustive quality controls and verification in the manufacturing and finishing processes, guarantee the unbeatable guarantees of our products.
Once the material has been extracted, it is processed, in which, in addition to the initial sawing and cutting, different finishes can be applied: honed, polished, brushed, aged, etc.
The blocks are taken to the workshops where a new quality control will determine which ones will be used to make boards and which ones will be used for slabs.
Subsequently, the stone is finished, or surface dressed, to provide the stone with the most appropriate finish for the client’s needs.”
