Do you have any pics?

The wikipedia image doesn't look very porous.

Indeed! I was looking at the picture, and MikeP said his was porous I would be curious to see some pics.

Alternatives to pulling rock out of the oceans are always good, especially calcium carbonate sources.

Travertine is a compact calcium carbonate used as a facing material in construction.

Stucco!
