For contemporary architectural projects seeking a clean, minimalist, and warm aesthetic, limestone is a premier choice.
Gohare Cream Limestone, geologically a highly compacted sedimentary carbonate rock, stands out for its exceptional uniformity.
Quarried in the Lorestan province of Iran, this natural stone is celebrated for its warm beige and cream color palette.
Its fine-grained texture and minimal geological patterns make it perfect for large-scale wall cladding and flooring.
Unlike other limestones, Gohare features high physical density, which allows it to take a premium polish.
Its subtle, warm undertones reflect light softly, creating a spacious and inviting ambiance in commercial lobbies.
The absence of large veins ensures a cohesive visual flow when installed across extensive facade surfaces.
Geologically, Gohare Limestone was formed in ancient warm marine basins through the accumulation of calcium carbonate.
Over millions of years, tectonic pressure and geothermal heat compacted the sediments, creating a dense structure.
This natural compaction process is what sets Gohare apart from more porous European cream limestones.
At SherkatStone, we select blocks that exhibit the highest color consistency and structural integrity.
We ensure that each batch delivered is processed to meet international engineering and architectural standards.
The commercial value of Gohare Limestone is determined by color consistency and the absence of impurities:
Our quality control inspectors evaluate each block and slab against several strict parameters:
Gohare Cream Limestone is highly versatile and is preferred for both classical and modern design layouts:
Key applications in B2B construction projects include:
Architects often specify a honed or brushed finish for Gohare to achieve a soft, non-reflective surface.
This stone pairs exceptionally well with concrete, timber, and dark bronze metal elements in contemporary facades.
Its thermodynamic properties help reflect solar heat, keeping building interiors cooler in warm climates.
At SherkatStone, we serve as the primary bridge between Lorestan quarries and global architectural firms.
We manage the entire supply chain, from selecting blocks at the quarry to processing in advanced yards.
This end-to-end management guarantees that our clients receive stone batches with consistent color tones.
We coordinate advanced processing methods, including resin injection, vacuum epoxy lines, and high-performance honing.
Our inspectors examine every crate before loading to verify that all tiles are free from chips and fractures.
We provide full technical documentation, including test reports from certified geological laboratories.
Our trade coordination model minimizes risk, ensuring timely deliveries for tight project schedules.
We handle complex shipping documentation, providing our clients with complete peace of mind during transit.
Gohare Cream Limestone is regularly tested to verify its performance under high load conditions:
| Physical Property | Testing Method | Measured Value |
|---|---|---|
| Bulk Specific Gravity (Density) | ASTM C97 | 2.62 g/cm³ |
| Water Absorption | ASTM C97 | 1.20% |
| Compressive Strength (Dry) | ASTM C170 | 78 MPa |
| Compressive Strength (Wet) | ASTM C170 | 68 MPa |
| Modulus of Rupture | ASTM C99 | 8.2 MPa |
| Abrasion Resistance | ASTM C241 | 16.0 Ha |
We supply Gohare Limestone in several formats to accommodate different installation methods:
We use multi-wire saws to maintain high dimensional accuracy and clean, sharp edges.
The texture of Gohare Limestone can be customized to suit different aesthetic and safety requirements:
Our finishing lines utilize high-performance abrasive tools to ensure uniform textures across large batches.
To preserve the pristine look of Gohare Limestone, proper sealing and care are essential:
We use export-grade packaging to protect the stone during international transport:
We coordinate global transport through optimized logistics corridors:
The quarries are located in the Lorestan province of Iran, renowned for producing uniform carbonate rocks.
It is sorted into Super, Premium, and Standard grades based on color consistency and absence of grey spots.
Yes, provided it is sealed with a high-quality impregnating sealer to prevent water penetration and frost damage.
Usually 5 to 7 weeks from deposit confirmation to loading at Bandar Abbas port.
Yes, we process 30mm, 40mm, or thicker panels according to structural engineering specifications.
We perform visual and mechanical inspections, and reinforce slabs with fiberglass backing when necessary.
Yes, we facilitate inspections by SGS or other third-party agencies chosen by the buyer.
Our minimum order quantity is one full 20ft container (approximately 400 sqm of 20mm tiles).
No, limestone is geologically stable; however, proper sealing prevents staining and environmental weathering.
We use fumigated, reinforced wooden crates lined with plastic sheeting and foam spacers.
Limestone is typically uniform and does not have linear veins, so bookmatching is not common.
Yes, we ship 15x15cm or 30x30cm physical samples worldwide via express couriers.
For high-traffic flooring, periodic polishing or resealing may be required to maintain its appearance.
A honed finish provides a matte look, hides dust and footmarks, and reduces the risk of slipping.
We source the entire batch from the same quarry block and section to ensure matching color tones.
