Water Absorption: < 0.30% (Controlled water permeability; perfectly applicable for interior flooring, wall cladding, feature walls, dry areas and exterior facade decorative projects)
Compressive Strength: 95 – 130 MPa (Stable structural strength and pressure resistance; suitable for large‑area interior decoration and conventional exterior architectural projects)
Abrasion Resistance: Stable wear and scratch resistance, ideal for luxury indoor flooring, warm‑neutral tone feature walls, Mediterranean‑style space decoration and high‑end customized stone projects
GANGSAW SUITABILITY
Samaha Limestone raw blocks are fully compatible with standard gangsaw processing equipment for mass tile cutting. Standard quarry block dimensions fully adapt to conventional tile specification cutting. The stone features stable internal sedimentary structure and uniform density; vein distribution and natural tone difference bring gentle natural variation among individual tiles, generating low controllable processing loss and stable finished‑product yield. It is a well‑received warm beige limestone material for high‑end interior design and large‑scale architectural engineering projects.
Recommended Processing: Gangsaw slabs (1.8 cm & 2 cm), followed by calibration, precise tile cutting, edge trimming and honed / polished / brushed surface treatment
Expected Slab Yield: Approximately 76‑86 slabs per block (based on 1.8 cm thickness)
Polish Result: Uniform warm cream‑beige low‑gloss smooth surface with faint soft beige‑grey flowing veins, presenting delicate blurred layering, cozy warm‑neutral tone and exclusive Mediterranean classic luxury decorative appearance
About
Texture
Fine compact sedimentary layered texture, treated internal pores for stable structure, compatible with honed, polished and antique tile processing methods.
Pattern and Veining
Pale cream base embedded with integrated elongated shell fossil fragments and faint light tan mineral veins, natural irregular fossil layout with mild batch color difference.
Durability
Stable performance for indoor constant-temperature spaces; outdoor use requires full penetrating sealant protection, reliable service life for interior decorative projects.
Available Surfaces
Polished, Bush Hammered, Sandblasted
Acid Sensitivity
Weak acid resistance with calcite main composition; avoid acidic cleaners and long-term acid rain contact to prevent surface corrosion and fossil detail erosion.
Physical Properties
- Density
- 2525 to 2625 KGS/M³
- Flexural Strength
- 7.4 to 10.4 MPa

Mineralogical Composition
Calcite92%
Other Minerals3%
Chemical Properties
Main component CaCO₃ 91~95%, low silica content, soluble carbonate reacts with acid substances to cause surface corrosion and discoloration.
Installation Guide
Wall tiles adopt flexible stone adhesive to avoid hollowing; floor tiles use anti-crack mortar; outdoor laying needs full anti-acid penetrating sealing treatment.
Cleaning & Maintenance
Only neutral dedicated stone cleaner allowed; regularly replenish sealant; wipe acidic spills immediately to protect fossil texture integrity.
Custom Cutting
Standard tile sizes 300/600/800mm available, customizable thickness 15~45mm, tailor special sizes for stair treads, borders and customized engineering drawings.
