Coralina Stone Site

Avoid in freezing climates unless heavily sealed; water absorption leads to spalling. | Property | Typical Value | |----------|----------------| | Compressive strength | ~2,500–4,000 psi (softer than granite) | | Water absorption | 8–12% (high – requires sealing) | | Mohs hardness | 3–4 (scratches with steel knife) | | Density | 1.8–2.2 g/cm³ |
