Jerusalem Gold is a famous and elegant sedimentary limestone quarried in Israel’s historic quarries, in the area surrounding the city of Jerusalem. It owes its name to the typical sunny and golden coloration that evokes the warm hues of the Middle Eastern landscape. Visually, it has a soft, bright background that ranges from golden beige to honey yellow, to cream and light ochre. Its surface boasts a uniform and compact texture, embellished with subtle chromatic nuances, light veins and minute fossil inclusions typical of the region’s limestone sedimentation. This extraordinary organogenic rock gives the rooms a noble, solemn and timeless atmosphere, enhancing both classical architecture and contemporary design. Perfect for brushed or polished work, it is widely used in interior flooring, scenic wall coverings, bathroom furnishings, portals, fireplaces and high-quality finishes, both in residential and commercial contexts.
Technical characteristics of the Jerusalem Gold
Geologically, it is a fine-grained, highly compact carbonate sedimentary rock (limestone), formed by slow organogenic deposition. Since it is a limestone composed mainly of calcium carbonate, it has the typical sensitivity to the direct action of food acids and aggressive chemical detergents, which is why it requires specific hydro-oil-repellent protective treatments when laid in areas at risk of staining. However, it boasts a low porosity and a notable structural density which give it excellent resistance to compression and wear from residential and medium commercial trampling.
– interior flooring and cladding: ideal for continuous floors, salons, fine lobbies and scenic vertical walls with a warm and elegant flavour.
– bathroom environments and wellness spaces: used for shower linings, walls and vanity tops (after applying suitable protective treatments).
– custom architectural elements: perfect for shaping stairways, fireplaces, portals, cornices, thresholds and windowsills.
– exterior architecture: in non-slip finishes it is used for facade cladding, porticoes and walkways in temperate climates.
