Which stone can this be?
It has a light greyish color and when it becomes wet (like when it rains) it has a slightly reddish/pink hue. It might be used to build historical places like palaces, for example.
Which type of stone/s can this be, and do you have any examples of well-known historical buildings where this stone was predominantly used?
Without a photo it could only at best be a guess.
I would say though that it would either be marble, (does it have coloured irregular band running through it?) or limestone (does there seem to be little seashells in it?)
Marble has been used as a building material and especially a facing material for many different buildings all over the world and especially favoured for sculpting statues.
Portland limestone is used as frequently as a building material in London. I'm fairly confident houses of Parliament was built from it. The pyramids, the library at Ephesus and the tomb of Mausoleus were all constructed using limestone.
