Lot 22108 is a 2-slab run of 2 cm Pietra Serena limestone, from Italy, in a honed finish. The slabs measure about 125″ × 65″, with 2 slabs available at our Los Angeles yard.

This slab

The recorded size of a slab in this lot is 125″ × 65″, about 56 square feet. Thickness is 2 cm. The color on record is silver. 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 Italy.

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 22108 at our Los Angeles yard shows 2 slabs in stock, none on hold, and 2 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.

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 Pietra Serena

Pietra Serena is an iconic Italian sandstone, though often categorized as a limestone in commercial trade, primarily quarried in the Firenzuola region of Tuscany. Celebrated for its uniform, sophisticated grey-blue to cerulean tonality and fine-grained texture, it serves as the architectural signature of Renaissance Florence. This versatile stone was championed by Filippo Brunelleschi for masterpieces like the Basilica of San Lorenzo and the Ospedale degli Innocenti. While prized for its minimalist elegance in modern interiors and claddings, its history is ancient, dating back to Etruscan fortifications. Notably, its timeless aesthetic famously inspired Steve Jobs, who selected it for the signature flooring of Apple Stores worldwide.
