The main building stone is a rather grubby Portland Whitbed. However the foundations and door-surround are clad in larvikite, Norway\u2019s National Stone. This is the variety of this stone marketed as <strong style=\"color:darkgreen\">Marina Pearl Larvikite<\/strong> and it is composed of perthitic feldspars (a mixture of plagioclase and orthoclase) which have a pearlescent shimmer. This optical phenomenon is known as schillerescence in feldspars and the varieties of larvikite show it off to a good effect. Also present is the feldspathoid mineral nepheline and dark-coloured (mafic) minerals are biotite, magnetite and the pyroxene variety titanaugite. The stone is sourced from a large, multiple intrusion near the town of Larvik in the Vestfold region on the south coast of Norway. These plutonic rocks were emplaced during Permian extension in the Oslo Graben at 290Ma. They have been quarried commercially since the 1880s and have become hugely popular worldwide ever since as an ornamental stone for interior design and as exterior cladding.<br \/>\n<div id=\"attachment_2192\" style=\"width: 216px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/bcgs.info\/pub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/P1160445small.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2192\" src=\"https:\/\/bcgs.info\/pub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/P1160445small-206x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"206\" height=\"300\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-2192\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bcgs.info\/pub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/P1160445small.jpg 206w, https:\/\/bcgs.info\/pub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/P1160445small-103x150.jpg 103w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 206px) 100vw, 206px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-2192\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">85-89 Colmore Row<\/p><\/div><\/p>\n<p><em>On the opposite side of the road is 85-89 Colmore Row.<\/em><br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\n<strong id=\"13\">13. 85-89 Colmore Row<\/strong><br \/>\nThis grand-looking building stands on the corner of Newhall Street and Colmore Row, built in the \u2018Florentine Renaissance\u2019 style; this is another building designed by Yeoville Thomason (of Council House fame) dating from 1869 and modified in 1885.

However, look carefully as some areas have been patched with a yellowish concrete, rich in a sharp quartz sand aggregate. This can be mistaken for a sandstone. The true Bath Stone is an oolitic limestone and the spherical ooids can be seen on the surface, weathering in as ovoid or circular, tiny, pits. These are just visible to the naked eye and are easily seen with a hand lens. Finely comminuted shell fragments are also present. The yellow colour, imparted by traces of the iron oxide hydroxide mineral goethite and the way the ooids weather in as pits, distinguishes Bath Stone from Portland Stone. Nevertheless both are Jurassic oolites formed in the subtropical seas that dominated western Europe during the Jurassic. Bath Stone is quarried from underground workings from the Middle Jurassic (Oxfordian) Chalfield Oolite Formation (c.160Ma). <div id=\"attachment_1826\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/bcgs.info\/pub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/P1100749small.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1826\" src=\"https:\/\/bcgs.info\/pub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/P1100749small.jpg\" alt=\"Roundel of Benvenuto Cellini\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1826\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bcgs.info\/pub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/P1100749small.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bcgs.info\/pub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/P1100749small-150x113.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-1826\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Roundel of Cellini, 79-83 Colmore Row<\/p><\/div><\/p>\n<p>This is a very decorative building with roundels depicting the Italian Renaissance goldsmiths Cellini and Ghiberti (the original owner, William Spurrier, sold silver and gold plate), vases and swags of flowers, Corinthian columns and capitals and rusticated stonework.
