Khorramabad Black Gohare is a budget-friendly Iranian limestone from Lorestan, offered in darker “black/charcoal” sorts as well as classic beige tones. It delivers a calm, architectural look, acceptable polish on premium sorts, and reliable sizing—making it a smart choice for cost-sensitive residential and multi-unit projects. As a limestone with relatively higher absorption, it performs best indoors with correct sealing and maintenance.
