Silk Georgette
In stock
Silk Georgette is a luxurious natural limestone, primarily sourced from China, celebrated for its unique “greige” colour—a sophisticated blend of beige and grey. Its name is inspired by the soft, draped appearance of silk georgette fabric, reflected in the stone’s linear, wood-like veining. Features a creamy light-beige or ivory background accented by subtle waves of grey and taupe. Its distinctive linear pattern is often compared to a refined wood grain or draped fabric. The stone may contain natural variations such as white quartz spots (quartzite), grey quartz lines, or mineral infiltrations, which contribute to its status as a one-of-a-kind material. While limestone is softer than granite, Silk Georgette offers remarkable flexional resistance, allowing it to support significant loads.
Common Applications

- Interior Surfaces: Ideal for flooring, wall cladding, and stair coverings in both residential and high-traffic public buildings.
- Bathrooms: Frequently used for vanity tops and spa-like environments.
- Kitchens: Can be used for countertops if treated with a hydro-oil repellent sealer to prevent acid etching and staining.
Available Finishes & Textures
The stone is versatile and can be processed into various textures to alter its visual and tactile effect:
- Honed: A classic, smooth matte finish is recommended, Maintenance Sealing: Annual application of a penetrating sealer is recommended to protect the porous surface from water and oil-based stains.
- Cleaning: Use only acid-free products; avoid harsh chemicals that can damage the limestone’s calcium-based structure.
- Protection: Spills should be wiped up immediately to prevent permanent etching
