|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Limestone, found throughout Tennessee, was declared the official state rock in 1979 (Tennessee also recognizes a state stone). Tennessee marble (the metamorphic version of limestone) is widely used in public and private buildings. Tennessee marble is a beautiful and decorative stone that graces exteriors, floors, counters, elevators and walls with the warm tones of this unique American "rock."
