Our bildhau stones are natural stones in individual shapes & sizes, the dimensions & weights of which we cannot specify exactly in advance. You can choose your stone from different weight categories, in which the maximum price for a stone of the respective category is indicated. The stone supplied will be individually weighed and charged at the price per kilo stated here. The price charged will be lower than the maximum price of the respective category.
It is important to us that you receive exactly the material you need for your project. If you are looking for a stone with more specific dimensions (e.g. elongated, approx. 30 cm), please let us know in the message field at the end of the order process. We will endeavour to find a suitable stone for you. On request, we will send you a photo in advance for inspection. We charge a service fee of 9.50 euros for this service, which will be shown on the invoice.
Larger stones and cut-to-size pieces are generally also available for many types of stone. Please contact us by e-mail or telephone for a binding quotation.

MACHINING
Euville can be worked very well by hand with all types of forged steel chisels, with claw chisels, flat chisels or lettering chisels as well as with point chisels for shaping and for larger material removal. Rasps and files can also be used for machining. Euville can be ground very finely, resulting in very smooth surfaces.
Sculptures made of Euville can be installed both indoors and outdoors. The limestone is frost-resistant.
FURTHER INFORMATION
Euville is a trochitic limestone that belongs to the shell limestones. Euville was formed in the Oxfordian period of the Upper Jurassic and is therefore somewhat younger than Tervoux. Due to its composition, the stone is equally suitable for construction and sculpture.
Limestone extraction in the quarries of Euville in the Département Meuse, around 50 kilometres from Nancy, dates back to the 16th century and reached its peak in the second half of the 19th century. Thanks to ever-improving transport options, the limestone from Euville was exported throughout Europe and even across the Atlantic. Most of the large buildings erected in Paris since Napoleon III are made of Euville. The limestone was also often used for the construction of large infrastructures. At the beginning of the 20th century, despite the incipient decline in production due to growing competition from concrete, there were still 1,500 quarries employing workers from all over Europe. Today, only one quarry is still in operation. Euville is extracted in open-cast mining.
Stone is a natural product. We endeavour to reproduce the appearance of our sculptured stones as accurately as possible in the illustrations so that the character of the stone can be recognised. Ultimately, each stone is unique and the appearance may differ from the illustration.
