A soft grey limestone marked with fine white veining and fossil detail — quieter and more architectural than the Brazilian whites, and used across floors, walls and joinery as readily as on benchtops.
Quarried in Turkey and shipped to Melbourne as full slabs. It is sometimes sold elsewhere as a marble; it is a limestone, and it behaves like one.
A mid to light grey background with fine, irregular white veining and, in many lots, visible fossil and shell detail. The overall read is soft, in a matt honed finish. Blocks vary in how strongly the veining is drawn and in how cool or brown the base sits.
Floor and wall tile, bathroom surfaces, feature walls, fireplace surrounds and joinery. It is used for benchtops, though as a softer stone it suits a considered finish and a client who is comfortable with a surface that develops a patina rather than staying factory-new.
Limestone is softer and more porous than quartzite or dolomite and asks for more care. Seal on installation and re-seal more often than you would a quartzite. Keep acidic liquids off it, use a pH-neutral cleaner, and use boards and coasters on any horizontal surface in daily use. Our general care and maintenance guide covers this in full.
A limestone. It is marketed as a marble in some markets, and the two are related — marble is limestone that has been metamorphosed — but Tundra Grey has not been through that change. It is softer and more porous than marble and should be specified on that basis.
It can, and it is, but go in with your eyes open. It is softer and more porous than quartzite, so it will mark and patina with use. Plenty of people choose it for exactly that character. If you want a surface that stays unchanged, a quartzite is the better answer.
Fossil and shell fragments. Limestone forms from sediment on ancient seabeds, so shell detail is frequently visible in the slab — in Tundra Grey it reads as pale flecks and outlines against the grey. It is a natural feature of the stone, not a defect.
In sheltered applications and with an appropriate finish, yes — honed finishes are widely used for terraces and pool surrounds. Discuss with your fabricator for the specific application.
Yes. 8 lots of Tundra Grey limestone are in our Dandenong South gallery as at 10 October 2026. Stock on this page is generated from our live warehouse data, so what you see is what is on the racks.
We currently hold Tundra Grey in honed finish. Finish availability changes with each shipment — the lots listed above are what is here now.
Slabs run up to roughly 3.0 × 1.9 metres, in 20mm thickness. Natural stone is cut block by block, so dimensions vary between lots — each lot above lists its own.
Yes, and we'd encourage it. Tundra Grey is on display at 37–39 Gaine Road, Dandenong South, open Monday to Friday 7:30am–4:30pm and Saturday 8:45am–2pm. Every lot is photographed individually so you can shortlist online first, then view the slabs in person.
