Lagos Azul, also known as Azul Valverde, is a premier Portuguese limestone primarily quarried in the southern Algarve region. Distinguished by its sophisticated dark gray to bluish-gray palette, this sedimentary stone features a medium-grained texture occasionally punctuated by delicate fossilized imprints and subtle tan undertones. Renowned for its uniform background and disciplined consistency, it offers a modern, minimalistic aesthetic that provides a tranquil foundation for contemporary interiors. While its high density makes it exceptionally durable for a limestone, it remains a softer, porous material best suited for interior flooring and wall cladding. Interestingly, despite its "blue" name, the stone often presents as a moody, clouded gray that reveals its subtle cerulean depth only under specific lighting conditions.
Slabs of Lagos Azul in lot BR0103506 run from 96″ × 56″ to 100″ × 56″. This is 2 cm grey limestone quarried in Portugal with a honed finish, and 21 slabs are available at our Los Angeles yard.
This slab
The recorded size of a slab in this lot is 100″ × 56″, about 39 square feet. Sizes across the lot run from 96″ × 56″ to 100″ × 56″. 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 Portugal.
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 BR0103506 at our Los Angeles yard shows 21 slabs in stock, none on hold, and 21 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.
