On hand at our Los Angeles yard: 17 available slabs of Gris Perpignan, a 2 cm grey limestone from Morocco in a honed finish. Lot sk172326 measures about 110″ × 70″, with 22 slabs on hold.

This slab

The recorded size of a slab in this lot is 110″ × 70″, about 53 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 Morocco.

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 sk172326 at our Los Angeles yard shows 39 slabs in stock, 22 slabs on hold, and 17 slabs available. Available means in stock minus slabs on hold.

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.

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.
