Jaisalmer Yellow
A strong sense of warmth, landscape, and natural Indian identity
Material Story
Jaisalmer Yellow is one of India's most recognisable golden natural stones. Quarried in the Jaisalmer region of Rajasthan, it is known for its warm yellow and golden tones that reflect the colours of Rajasthan's desert landscape.
Although often grouped with decorative stones and referred to commercially alongside marble or sandstone, Jaisalmer Yellow is geologically a limestone.
For Ishatva, Jaisalmer Yellow brings a strong sense of warmth, landscape, heritage and natural Indian identity.
Colour & Natural Variation
The colour palette ranges from pale yellow through golden honey and warm sandstone yellow to deeper ochre. Natural fossil markings, mineral movement and tonal differences may occur.
