Sinai Pearl

also known as Sinai White, Pearl of Sinai, Egyptian Pearl

A cool grey-white to near-white Egyptian limestone from the Sinai Peninsula, with a finer grain and cooler temperature than Galala. Its subtle grey undertone places it between a true white marble and a classic beige limestone — a versatile neutral that works well in contemporary interiors where warmth is not desired. Used in residential flooring, hotel lobbies and feature wall cladding.
