Tunisia · Limestone
also known as Tunisian Grey Limestone, Carthage Grey, Pierre Grise Tunisie
Tunisia's north-central regions yield a family of warm-grey limestones distinct from the famous Giallo Antico. These grey variants, quarried near Enfidha and Oued Zarga, are exported primarily to Italy and France, finding application in contemporary interior design. Their neutral, slightly warm grey palette bridges the cool tones of Belgian Bluestone with the warmth of Portuguese limestone.
