HELP Base Rock question

HI and Happy new year! I am setting up a 90 gallon reef tank. I purchased some base rock from LFS, and the person at the store told me that the rock i purchased was great for base rock. The rock looks great, however, it looks sort of like a bleached out lime stone or something. Would this still be safe to use as base rock?
Thanks

It's perfectly fine to use, within a year it will actually become LR, the white fade away and the lace or base rock will then become darker and if everything goes well you should have some coraline algae growth.

you can use that as base rock or after a few months in the tank it will look like live rock. It shouldnt be lime stone if you bought it from the lfs.
where in FL do you live?
