LIMESTONE
THE TIMELESS ELEGANCE OF EARTH'S EMBRACE
Limestone is a sedimentary rock composed principally of calcium carbonate or the double carbonate of calcium and magnesium. It is commonly composed of tiny fossils, shell fragments and other fossilized debris. Each limestone is unique, and the colors, pattern and veining will vary on each product.

THE HISTORY OF EARTH IN YOUR HOME
Veining variations in limestone are caused by the presence of different minerals, sediments, or fossils, which create distinctive patterns or lines within the stone. These veins can range from subtle and fine lines to more pronounced and intricate patterns, adding depth and character to the appearance of limestone. Fossils, such as shells, corals, or other marine organisms that were present during its formation, can also create distinct textures and patterns, contributing to limestone's visual diversity.
UNIQUE VARIATIONS & NATURAL COLORWAYS
Created geologically over millions of years, limestone is a sedimentary rock composed primarily of calcium carbonate. Its color and veining variations are a result of the diverse minerals and organic materials present during its formation, as well as the geological processes it undergoes. In terms of color, limestone commonly appears in shades of beige, off-white, with dark and light gray veining.
ELECTRIC GRAY
A blend of off-white and gray with beige and dark gray veining.

DORIC COLLECTION
The Doric Coffee Table by GamFratesi takes its name from the Doric order of ancient Greek – and later Roman – architecture. The oldest and least ornamental of the three Classical orders, Doric architecture is characterized by restraint, symmetry, and simplicity, with decorative features generally limited to the vertical fluting that is so closely associated with the Doric column.
FAQ ABOUT LIMESTONE
Q: What variation should I expect in my GUBI stone products?
A: GUBI only uses natural stone for our products, making each of our products one of a kind. Natural stones are created geologically over millions of years. The gradual transformation results in individual properties from color shades and veins to even millennial fossils within each tabletop. Each piece of natural stone is unique, giving the finished products a sense of individuality and character.
Limestone can exhibit an extraordinary range of colors and a variety of shades, making each piece unique with no two exactly alike. For more information regarding the color variations of each stone, please refer to the start of this page. Individual pieces are selected for their veining and striations, giving each limestone design a unique expression of identity.
Q: Can limestone be used for outdoor applications?
A: Please check our range of outdoor stone furniture to ensure the correct use of GUBI products.
Q: Are GUBI's stone products coated or sealed?
A: Each limestone, marble, and travertine from GUBI is treated and sealed with a special coating to help protect the material and extend the useful life of the product. We seal the surface to make it more resistant to water, oil, and dirt, and prevent the stone from turning yellow over time. This treatment does NOT eliminate results from the incorrect use and maintenance of our stone material; Read our complete care and maintenance guide on travertine here.
Q: How do I take care of limestone products?
A: To maintain the beauty of limestone, regular cleaning is essential. Do not use scouring pads, acidic detergents, or abrasive cleaning products of any kind, as this may permanently scratch, stain, or damage the surface. Read our complete care and maintenance guide on limestone here.
