Description
Cinderella Grey Limestone is a natural limestone quarried in China, featuring a muted warm light-grey to creamy off-white (ash-grey) background and a dense, fine-grained structure.
Texture & Pattern:
Its distinctive appearance consists of dense, irregular medium- to dark-grey speckles, blotches and mottled formations resembling fine gravel, fossil deposits or sponge-like patterns. The organic cloud-like pattern differs from the linear veining of marble and crystalline appearance of granite.
Technical Properties:
- Water Absorption: Approx. 0.5–1.0 wt.%
- Density: Approx. 2,600–2,700 kg/m³
- Flexural Strength: Approx. 9–13 MPa
- Compressive Strength: Approx. 80–130 MPa
- Hardness: Approx. Mohs 3–4
Mineral Composition:
Calcite 75–95%, dolomite 2–15%, quartz 1–8%, clay minerals and other accessory minerals 1–5%.
Chemical Composition:
CaCO₃ 75–95 wt.%, MgCO₃ 2–15 wt.%, SiO₂ 1–8 wt.%, Al₂O₃ + Fe₂O₃ 0.5–5 wt.%.
Applications:
Interior and exterior wall cladding, façades, flooring, paving, stairs, landscaping, fireplaces, bathrooms, feature walls and architectural stonework.
Maintenance:
Clean with a pH-neutral stone cleaner and avoid acidic or abrasive products. Sealing is recommended for stain-prone areas and exterior applications. Regular maintenance helps preserve the natural colour and mottled texture.
* Technical and compositional values are indicative ranges and should be confirmed with quarry-specific laboratory test reports before use as certified specifications.
