Avorio St. Sebastian is a beige limestone quarried on the Croatian island of Brac, near the town of Pucisca. This region has supplied stone for centuries, with local quarries dating back to Roman times. The same limestone from Brac was used in the White House and Diocletian’s Palace in Split, making it one of the most historically significant stone sources in Europe.
Quarry workers extract Avorio St. Sebastian from deep deposits that formed millions of years ago in shallow marine environments. The stone’s fine, dense grain comes from compacted shells and sediment that settled on ancient sea floors. Today, modern quarrying methods preserve the stone’s natural integrity while producing consistent slabs for commercial use.
Avorio St. Sebastian features a golden beige base color with minimal veining. The stone has a uniform appearance thanks to its fine grain structure, which makes it ideal for projects requiring visual consistency across large surfaces. You'll find slight color variations from slab to slab, ranging from pale cream to warmer beige tones. These natural differences add character without disrupting the overall cohesive look.
The limestone's smooth texture works well in contemporary and traditional settings. Its neutral palette complements both warm and cool color schemes, and the stone's matte finish absorbs light rather than reflecting it, creating a soft, understated presence in any space.
This Croatian limestone performs well in multiple applications. Kitchen and bathroom countertops are common uses, where the stone's density resists everyday wear. The material handles foot traffic effectively, making it suitable for flooring in residential and commercial spaces.
Avorio St. Sebastian works for both interior and exterior applications. The stone's resistance to weather and low temperatures makes it reliable for outdoor installations, including facades, wall cladding, and paving. Interior designers use it for fireplace surrounds, accent walls, stair treads, and windowsills.
The stone accepts several finish types. Polished finishes bring out the color depth and create a formal appearance. Honed finishes offer a smoother feel with less shine, popular for flooring and countertops. Brushed and tumbled finishes add texture and create a more casual, aged look. Sandblasted finishes provide slip resistance for outdoor walkways and pool decks.
Avorio St. Sebastian fits multiple design styles. In modern interiors, the stone's clean, uniform appearance supports minimalist aesthetics. For Mediterranean and coastal designs, it reinforces the connection to southern European architecture. Traditional spaces benefit from the stone's timeless quality and neutral warmth.
The limestone pairs well with wood tones, white cabinetry, stainless steel, and both light and dark grout lines. Designers often choose it for open-plan spaces where consistent flooring material helps unify different functional areas. The stone's ability to work across large surfaces without busy patterns makes it valuable for creating calm, spacious environments.
Limestone requires proper sealing to prevent staining. Apply a penetrating sealer before use and reapply according to manufacturer recommendations, typically every 12 to 18 months for countertops and high-traffic floors. Sealed properly, the stone resists water absorption and daily spills.
Clean Avorio St. Sebastian with pH-neutral stone cleaners. Avoid acidic products like vinegar, lemon juice, and harsh bathroom cleaners, as limestone is not acid-resistant. These substances etch the surface and dull the finish. For daily cleaning, warm water and mild soap work well.
Address spills immediately, particularly from wine, coffee, and oils. Blot rather than wipe to prevent spreading. For outdoor installations, sweep regularly to remove debris that could scratch the surface. Pressure washing works for exterior applications, but use low pressure to avoid damaging the stone.
