Italy · Limestone
also known as Carnico Grey, Pietra di Carnia
A dense, dark-grey compact limestone from the Carnia valleys of northern Friuli. Its consistent cool-grey tone and fine grain have made it a favoured material for contemporary Italian architecture — indoor floors, exterior cladding and feature walls where a moody, refined dark palette is called for.
Type-level physical facts shown. Per-lot lab values (absorption, flexural strength) confirmed at quotation.
It is a medium-dark cool grey — not as dramatic as Nero Marquina or Toros Black, but darker and cooler than Bardiglio. Under polishing it shows subtle lighter crystalline movement against the grey matrix.
Yes. It is a dense, durable limestone and performs well as exterior cladding and paving in sheltered and moderate exposures.
