Need Help Identifying This Tile

[djbeats]

First post - be gentle Can someone help me identify the type or name of the tile around our fireplace? I want to buy more but I don't even know what to ask for. It contains shells but I can't tell if it's natural or created. Thanks so much!

Are you referring to just what is on the hearth?

Travertine

Beautiful imprinting

Yes the stone around the fireplace. It's all the same on mantle and sides and bottom. Lots of shells in it. Doesn't look like any Travertine I've ever seen but it's possible I guess. Some kind of limestone perhaps?

It might very well be a man-made stone (resin & cement) that has shells added into it. Similar to this...

Best of luck with your search.

Edit: I can't imagine it being a piece of fossilized natural stone as it would be nearly prohibitively expensive to do. It also doesn't look like a natural stone to me.

Thanks so much. That was my wife's inclination too and she's right about most things - lol
