Bath Stone is an oolitic limestone comprising granular fragments of calcium carbonate. Originally obtained from the Combe Down and Bathampton Down Mines under Combe Down, Somerset, England. Its honey colouring gives the World Heritage City of Bath, England its distinctive appearance. An important feature of Bath Stone is that it is a 'freestone', so-called because it can be sawn or 'squared up' in any direction, unlike other rocks such as slate, which form distinct layers. Some quarries are still in use, but the majority have been converted to other purposes or are being filled in.

  • Bath Stone ist ein historisch bedeutender Werkstein in Südengland. Es handelt sich um einen oolithischen Kalkstein mit körnigen Kalziumkarbonatfragmenten und einem sideritischen Pigmentanteil. Er entstand im Mittleren Jura. In Deutschland verwenden Mineralogen für vergleichbare Gesteine daneben auch die althergebrachte Bezeichnung „Rogenstein“. (de)
  • La piedra de Bath (Bath stone) es la caliza oolítica que se encuentra en muchos lugares del sudoeste de Inglaterra, en particular cerca de Bath, de donde proviene su nombre. De granos medios o finos, su color varía de gris a crema. La piedra de Bath ha sido utilizada ampliamente desde la ocupación romana de Britania y fue especialmente popular en la arquitectura eclesiástica inglesa de los siglos XIII, XIV y XV. (es)
  • La pierre de Bath est un calcaire oolithique comprenant des fragments granulaires de carbonate de calcium. Originairement obtenu des mines de Combe Down, la ville de Bath, classée au patrimoine mondial se reflète ainsi par sa couleur or-crème.[pas clair] La pierre de Bath a été utilisée comme matériau de construction (pierre de taille) à travers le sud de l'Angleterre pour des maisons, des églises (par exemple l'église Saint-Matthieu de Chapel Allerton, à Leeds), et des bâtiments tant privés (par exemple l'Empire Hotel à Bath) que publics comme des gares ferroviaires.

  • La pietra di Bath è un calcare oolitico costituito da frammenti granulari di carbonato di calcio. Originariamente ottenuto dalle miniere di Combe Down e Bathampton Down sotto Combe Down, Somerset, in Inghilterra, la sua calda colorazione color miele conferisce alla città di Bath, in Inghilterra, Patrimonio dell'umanità, il suo aspetto distintivo. Una caratteristica importante della pietra di Bath è che è una "pietra da taglio", così chiamata perché può essere segata o "squadrata" in qualsiasi direzione, a differenza di altre rocce come l'ardesia, che formano strati distinti.
