One type of this rock also known as Mexican Onyx and Egyptian Alabaster is used in jewelry and found in large quantities between Veracruz and Mexico City.

A poorly compacted form of this type of rock has numerous sources in Florida, is formed near beaches, and is called coquina. Powdered rock of this type is often used as a sorbent at coal-burning power plants, and it is currently being formed on the Bahamas Platform.
