Paras Stone (also known as Batu Paras Jogja) is a soft white limestone formed from calcium carbonate sedimentation. Its defining feature is its softness and uniform creamy-white texture, which makes it distinct from hard volcanic stones like Andesite.

Because of its high workability, it is the primary material used in traditional Balinese architecture for detailed carvings. It allows artisans to create intricate 3D reliefs, floral patterns, and statues that are impossible to achieve with harder stones. It adds an instant touch of tropical luxury to any project in Guinea.
