Cinderella Grey Limestone Tile
(also traded as “Cinderella Grey Stone”, “Chinese Grey Limestone” and “Cinderella Grey Paver”)
1. Product Snapshot
A pale‐to‑mid grey limestone with delicate calcite speckles and a fine, compact grain, Cinderella Grey Limestone combines the understated elegance of Northern European stones with the cost‑efficiency and reliable supply of a Chinese quarry. Produced in‑house in Shuitou on Italian bridge saws and edge‑profilers, the stone is calibrated, rectified and ready for luxury residential or light‑commercial projects, indoors and out.
