Excerpt from Sketch of the Geology of Alabama
Marbles and Dolomites. - Near Talladega and Sylacauga occurs a bed of good crystalline marble that'has been worked at a number of localities, and has yielded some fine material. In Lee county, near Opelika, there is a crystalline dolomite which is white, and would make a fine ornamental and build ing stone, hardly to be distinguished from marble. This sub stance has for years supplied the Chewacla lime works and gives a lime of very superior quality.
