This slab
The recorded size of a slab in this lot is 120″ × 72″, about 60 square feet. Thickness is 2 cm.
The honed finish is smooth and matte, without a high gloss. Two centimeters is a standard slab thickness for counters, vanities, and wall cladding.

The slabs can be seen in person at our Los Angeles slab gallery 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.
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 Pierre Noir
Pierre Noir presents a deep, charcoal-black ground with subtle brown undertones that give the surface a soft, earthy warmth. Faint clouding and mottled patches move gently across the slab, while fine pale flecks and small fossil-like traces add quiet texture without disrupting the dark, even tone. The overall appearance is understated and moody, with low contrast that reads as calm and refined. As a natural limestone, Pierre Noir offers a honed, matte character that suits contemporary and classic interiors alike. It works well for flooring, wall cladding, vanity tops, fireplace surrounds, and countertops where a muted, sophisticated dark stone is wanted.
