Cedar is a distinctive multicolour limestone originating from Lebanon, also known in the trade as Adalia Capucchino. This stone features a complex, warm palette with varied mineral inclusions that create a rich, textured appearance. Its natural grain and subtle veining make it ideal for interior flooring, wall cladding, and decorative architectural elements where visual depth is desired. Suitable finishes include honed, polished, and brushed surfaces to highlight its unique character. Marmi di Carrara supplies Cedar in blocks, standard 2/3 cm slabs, and custom cut-to-size pieces. We provide high-resolution photos of actual slabs before purchase to ensure you select the exact variation of this Lebanese limestone. Request a quote to explore how Cedar can enhance your project.
