Gohare limestone is structurally different from other limestones and like marble stones, is highly compact and durable. For this reason, unlike other kinds of limestones, it has high resistance. Therefore, many people consider Gohare stone as a kind of marble and call it Gohare marble stone.

Geologically the lifespan of Gohare limestone is longer than other kinds of limestone and that’s a reason for the high compactness and resistance of this limestone. The higher density (special weight) of this limestone has granted them high abrasion resistance. Also bright beige color and other chemical and physical specifications of the Gohare limestone have introduced it as a reliable stone among other limestones.

Gohare limestone, the most widely used beige limestone in the world

Some people know limestone by its gray color and due to the high water absorption of gray limestones. so they assume that these stones are applicable only for interior spaces.
