Blue Honed Limestone is not just a stone—it's a blend of natural elegance and cultural heritage.

Originating from the famed Diancangshan region in Dali City, Yunnan, China, this stone is recognized for its brilliant blue hues and intricate natural patterns. It has long been a preferred material in both modern architecture and traditional craftsmanship.
