Dutch ..... Een schelpmarmer uit het Engelse Sussex. De hoofdkleur is grijs met enkele groene of blauwe plekjes. De oude plaatselijke naam 'winklestone' verwijst naar de grote hoeveelheid kleine slakkenhuizen (‘winkles’) in het marmer. Het werd in de middeleeuwen gebruikt om kerken te verfraaien en bleef nog eeuwenlang populair. |
