Dear Sir or Madam, I'm in charge of finding substitution stones for the restoration of an old church in Belgium. It is partially built with a local Belgian Kalktuff that is not extracted anymore in our regions. So I have to find a substitution stone. Could it be possible for you to provide me with some information or a technical datasheet of your stone ? Would it be possible for you to send me a piece of your stone to show to the architects for whom I'm working. It would be important to compare your product to the original one. I do not have for the moment any idea of the volume of stone that would be necessary for the restoration. It won't be huge volumes. I really hope to get your feedback soon. Let me know if you need more information on the project. Thank you very much for your support.
