Turkish Limestone, also marketed as Antalya Limestone, Crema Bellýsýmo or Lymra, is a natural limestone quarried in Turkey. It presents a uniform beige and cream palette with a subtle off‑white to cream background, offering a smooth, fine‑grained texture that is free of pronounced veining. The stone’s homogeneous appearance makes it ideal for both interior and exterior applications such as wall cladding, flooring, bathroom surfaces and architectural detailing. Suitable finishes include polished, honed and brushed, allowing designers to achieve a range of aesthetic effects. Marmi di Carrara supplies Turkish Limestone in blocks and 2‑3 cm thick slabs, cut‑to‑size, with verified photographs of each slab before purchase.
