Azul Cascais is a distinctive blue limestone originating from Portugal. This stone features a dominant blue-grey hue with subtle black punctuations and light brown spots, creating a textured, organic appearance. Its calciclastic composition offers a unique aesthetic that contrasts beautifully with modern architectural elements. Azul Cascais is ideal for interior flooring, wall cladding, and decorative accents where a cool, natural tone is desired. It accepts various finishes, including honed and polished surfaces, to highlight its grain. Marmi di Carrara supplies Azul Cascais in blocks, 2 or 3 cm slabs, and cut-to-size pieces. We provide high-resolution photos of actual slabs to ensure you select the exact shade and pattern before purchase.
