This floor is a Peruvian limestone/travertine and it looks like the opus pattern.
It didn't have a name for it on the boxes.
So I was wrong about it being limestone, it is travertine and it is then mislabeled on the box .Natural Travertine Marble- Rustic
Patio Pattern
Stones from Peru
Product description:

-install with white thinset
-may be assembled with or without grout spacing
-if desired the natural holes that show on the surface may be filled with the thinset mortar or grout
-tiles may be used for floors and walls, interior or exterior
So marble, limestone and travertine are all in the same family, but have undergone different geological conditions which give them their variations.travertine:
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Formed from millions of years of sulfuric mineral springs percolating through Limestone deposits, Travertines offer earthy, old-world elegance and exude warmth and beauty in a variety of applications. [/FONT]
marble:
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]A metamorphic stone, Marbles are formed when the Earth’s pressure creates enough heat to fuse millions of years’ worth of calcified deposits into stone which is characterized by beautiful colors and dramatic veins.
limestone:
[/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]A sedimentary stone, Limestone has been used throughout the centuries as a popular building material. Limestones range in color from gray to buff with some pastel shades of pink and yellow, neutral shades that integrate perfectly with current color trends.[/FONT]
-if desired the natural holes that show on the surface may be filled with the thinset mortar or grout
So is my floor a opus romano?
