Check it doesn't require a certain colour adfhesive, some limestone is translucent-ish and can let the greys through the tile a little in some light. Other than that, treat them like slate.

Cheers mate
So would you recomend white adh' anyway?

I would, best be safe than having to go back and pull the floor up....

If you hold the tile up to a powerful light and can see through it when you make shapes with your hand behind it (if that makes any sense at all) then you'll need a white adhesive. if you're unsure double check rather than just buying white as it's more expensive.
