Origin and Quarry
Sinai Pearl Beige is sourced from quarries located in the Sinai Peninsula of Egypt. This region is renowned for its rich deposits of high-quality natural stone, and Sinai Pearl Beige is a testament to its geological bounty.
Characteristics and Appearance
Sinai Pearl Beige enchants with its creamy beige backdrop, often featuring subtle veining or delicate fossil inclusions.

Sinai Pearl Beige brings a sense of warmth and tranquility to any environment.
Available Finishes
- Polished: A high-gloss, reflective finish that enhances the natural veining and colors of the marble. It creates a sleek, elegant, and luxurious look. Best for areas where a high-impact, dramatic effect is desired.
- Honed: A smooth, matte finish with little to no shine. It offers a more understated, natural, and softer look than polished. Good for areas where a less glossy appearance is preferred.
- Brushed (or Satin): A textured finish with a slightly rough, matte surface. It provides a more tactile and rustic feel, adding depth and interest.
- Tumbled: A textured finish achieved by tumbling the marble pieces, resulting in rounded edges and a slightly uneven surface. It creates a rustic, aged, and informal look.
- Acid-Etched: A specialized finish that creates a slightly textured, matte surface. It can be used to create unique patterns or designs.
- Sandblasted: A textured finish achieved by blasting the marble with sand, resulting in a rough, matte surface. Often used for exterior applications.
- Bush Hammered: A very rough, textured finish created by using a bush hammer tool. Commonly used for exterior paving and landscaping.
