About this stone

Teriesta carries the same Sinai sheet as Sinai Grey — 0.26 % absorption, 20,200 psi in compression — but reads warmer and softer. The ground is a pale pearl grey with a faint beige undertone and gentle clouding, which is why it is often chosen for bedrooms, bathrooms and hotel rooms where a hard grey would feel cold.

Under artificial light it takes on a slight sheen that the name refers to. That effect is strongest polished and largely gone when honed, so the finish here is a decision about atmosphere rather than only about maintenance.

Interior floors and walls, bathrooms with proper falls, stairs, reception areas and cladding on sheltered elevations.

Polished for the pearl effect, honed for calm, brushed or sandblasted where a wet floor needs grip. Supplied as blocks, slabs and cut to size.
