This slab

The recorded size of a slab in this lot is 117″ × 54″, about 44 square feet. Thickness is 2 cm. The color on record is grey. Natural stone still varies inside that description, so the slab itself is the reference for movement and shade. This material is recorded as quarried in Spain.

The honed finish is smooth and matte, without a high gloss. Two centimeters is a standard slab thickness for counters, vanities, and wall cladding.

In the yard

Lot 109692 at our Los Angeles yard shows 7 slabs in stock, 2 slabs on hold, and 5 slabs available. Available means in stock minus slabs on hold.

The slabs can be compared in daylight at our Los Angeles yard before anything is cut.

Where it works

For this kind of stone, the usual applications are floors, wall cladding, and vanities. The right use still depends on the finish, the thickness, and how the slab will be cared for after it is installed. Inspiration photos show this stone in a Floor.

The material

Limestone is a sedimentary stone, usually calmer in pattern than marble, with a soft mineral color. It is more porous than granite and is a frequent choice for floors, cladding, and vanities. Honed and brushed finishes suit its matte character. Acidic products can etch it, and a sealer is often part of the care plan. Slabs from the same lot are the right set to compare for shade before they are cut.

About Gris Catalan

Gris Catalan is a sophisticated sedimentary limestone quarried from the Catalonia region of Spain. This distinctive stone is characterized by its deep grey-blue to charcoal palette, often serving as a warmer, fossil-rich alternative to Belgian Blue Stone. Its unique aesthetic is formed by the accumulation of ancient crinoid remains, which are naturally sealed together by micro-crystalline calcite. This process creates a captivating visual texture of black speckled markings interspersed with white coral and shell segments. Renowned for its remarkable hardness and versatility, it is an excellent choice for high-traffic flooring, elegant wall cladding, and durable kitchen worktops. Interestingly, despite its dark appearance, the stone is primarily composed of calcium carbonate, and its decorative depth is intensified by the high concentration of marine fossils embedded within the prehistoric mud.
