Azarshahr Lemon Travertine

Azarshahr Lemon Travertine, internationally recognised as Persian Lemon Travertine, is one of Iran’s most distinctive coloured travertines. Its naturally warm lemon-yellow to golden cream background, combined with a compact structure, relatively low porosity and elegant appearance, has made it an attractive choice for architects, designers and natural stone importers seeking materials with a unique visual identity.

This travertine is quarried in the Azarshahr region of East Azerbaijan Province, Iran, an area internationally known for producing premium coloured travertines. Thanks to its distinctive colour palette and architectural versatility, Persian Lemon Travertine has significant potential in both domestic and international natural stone markets.

The characteristic lemon-yellow colour results from the geological composition and natural mineral deposits formed during the stone’s creation. Colour intensity may vary from one quarry bench, block and grade to another, making block selection and grading essential for achieving consistent architectural results.

Natural Colour & Geological Character

The defining feature of Persian Lemon Travertine is its naturally warm and vibrant colour palette.

Depending on the quarry, block and grade, the stone may display shades of:

• Lemon Yellow
• Light Yellow
• Golden Yellow
• Honey Yellow
• Creamy Yellow

Natural tonal variations, subtle veining, mineral bands and small pores are part of the stone’s geological identity and contribute to its authentic appearance.

Its warm colour makes Azarshahr Lemon Travertine particularly suitable for architectural projects seeking a natural stone that creates warmth, brightness and visual distinction.

Vein Cut Lemon Travertine

Vein Cut Lemon Travertine is produced by cutting parallel to the natural sedimentary layers of the stone.

This cutting direction highlights elongated veins and linear movement, creating a more dynamic and contemporary appearance.

Vein Cut is especially suitable for:

• Building Facades
• Luxury Villas
• Feature Walls
• Hotel Lobbies
• Large Decorative Panels
• Contemporary Architecture
• Architectural Wall Cladding
• Premium Slab Projects

The natural directional movement of Vein Cut allows architects to create visually continuous surfaces across large elevations and interior feature walls.

Cross Cut Lemon Travertine

Cross Cut Lemon Travertine is produced by cutting across the natural bedding planes.

Instead of emphasising continuous linear veins, Cross Cut creates a softer, more organic appearance with naturally distributed textures and patterns.

Both Vein Cut and Cross Cut offer distinctive architectural aesthetics, and the most suitable option depends on:

• Block characteristics
• Grade selection
• Design concept
• Surface finish
• Intended application

Lemon Travertine Slabs

Persian Lemon Travertine Slabs represent one of the most desirable presentations of this natural stone.

Large-format slabs showcase the stone’s natural colour transitions, mineral formations and geological movement across a broader surface, making them ideal for premium architectural applications.

Lemon Travertine Slabs are widely used for:

• Feature Walls
• Hotel Lobbies
• Luxury Residential Interiors
• TV Walls
• Decorative Wall Cladding
• Commercial Interiors
• Columns
• Reception Areas
• Architectural Feature Panels
• Hospitality Projects

Producing premium slabs requires careful selection of quarry blocks with consistent colour, sound structure, balanced pore distribution and attractive natural movement.

Surface Finishes

Azarshahr Lemon Travertine can be processed in a wide variety of architectural finishes depending on the project requirements.

Polished Finish

Creates a smooth reflective surface that enhances the depth and brightness of the natural yellow tones.

Honed Finish

Produces a smooth matte surface with low reflectivity, suitable for contemporary architecture.

Leather Finish

Creates a textured tactile surface that highlights the stone’s natural character while providing additional visual depth.

Unfilled Finish

Preserves the natural pores and original geological texture of the travertine.

Filled Finish

Natural pores are filled using high-quality resin and mastic before further processing where required.

Rock / Bush Hammered Finish

Provides a textured architectural surface suitable for selected exterior applications and landscape design.

Sandblasted Finish

Creates a slip-resistant textured surface suitable for outdoor architectural applications.

Grooved Finish

Decorative grooves and architectural textures can be produced to achieve distinctive design effects.

The appropriate finish should always be selected according to the project’s architectural concept, installation method, maintenance requirements, environmental exposure and intended use.
