Meleke
''Meleke'' ((アラビア語:ملكي), "royal", "kingly") — also transliterated ''melekeh'' or ''malaki'' — is a lithologic type of white, coarsely crystalline, thickly bedded limestone found in the Judean Hills in Israel and the West Bank.〔Shadmon, Asher (1972), ''Stone in Israel'', Jerusalem: Natural Resources Research Organization, Ministry of Development, State of Israel, pg 30.〕 It has been used in the traditional architecture of Jerusalem since ancient times, especially in Herodian architecture. Though it is often popularly referred to as Jerusalem stone, this phrase can refer to a number of different types of stone found and used in, or associated with, Jerusalem.
==Name==
''Meleke'' is an Arabic word that originated in the jargon of local stonemasons.〔 Translated as "kingly stone", (or "queenly"), "royal stone", or "stone of kings", the source of the word's meaning may derive from ''melekes use in all the monumental tombs of Jerusalem.〔〔(BAS Archive )〕 Israeli building stone authority Asher Shadmon cites the word as one of the local or colloquial "mason's terms" that have been "adopted by geologists" and are applied in the technical literature.〔Shadmon, ''Op. cit.'', pg 21. (In his 1972 book, Shadmon advanced "King Solomon Stone" as a proposed commercial name for ''meleke'', but this apparently did not catch on.)〕
