Chestnut Shell is limestone in warm browns and subtle golds over creamy beige, deepening to a reddish brown that most tan stones never reach. It comes in more shapes than most: split or tumbled ashlar and hewn, mosaic, and panel honed, brushed, sand-blasted, bush-hammered or corduroy. Thin or full, the larger pieces let each color show whole.
