The Stone

See the natural beauty of Shilin up close — the surface texture, colour depth, and veining that make this sintered stone unique.

Colour:

Grey

Complex grey limestone with a weathered, fossilised texture — the ancient stone forests of Yunnan captured in sintered stone.

Neolith Shilin draws its inspiration from the extraordinary Stone Forest of Yunnan, China — towering limestone karst formations shaped by millennia of natural erosion. Its grey surface carries a complex, weathered texture that suggests fossilised, deeply aged limestone, with layered tonal variation in mid-grey, charcoal, and silver tones creating genuine geological depth. The Slate finish enhances the textured, riven quality, giving the surface an authentically ancient character. Part of the Fusion collection, Shilin brings a sense of geological time and Eastern natural beauty into kitchen and bathroom spaces. A surface for homeowners who appreciate the deep, contemplative beauty of ancient natural stone.

Frequently Asked

Questions About Shilin

What does Neolith Shilin look like?
Neolith Shilin features a complex grey surface with a weathered, fossilised texture that suggests ancient limestone sculpted by millennia of natural erosion. Layered tonal variation in mid-grey, charcoal, and silver creates genuine geological depth. The Slate finish enhances the riven, textured character for maximum authenticity.
What inspired the name Shilin?
Shilin takes its name from the extraordinary Stone Forest of Yunnan, China — a UNESCO World Heritage Site where towering limestone karst formations create a landscape of surreal geological beauty. The formations were shaped over 270 million years by natural dissolution of the limestone. Neolith Shilin captures this ancient, weathered limestone character.
What kitchen styles suit Shilin?
Shilin works beautifully in contemplative, Eastern-inspired, architectural modern, and nature-focused design schemes where ancient geological character creates a sense of timelessness. It pairs well with dark timber, bamboo, natural slate, and warm ambient lighting that plays across the textured surface.
Is the Slate finish practical for kitchen use?
The Slate finish adds textural depth that enhances Shilin's geological character, creating peaks and valleys that interact dramatically with light. While slightly more challenging to clean than smooth finishes, spills still wipe away easily from the non-porous surface. The texture is engineered for practical use while maximising visual and tactile impact.
What thicknesses is Shilin available in?
Shilin is available in 6mm, 12mm, and 20mm thicknesses, all in the Slate finish. The 20mm format provides a substantial worktop with impressive textural character, while the 6mm format works well for feature walls and splashbacks where the ancient limestone character can create a dramatic backdrop.
★★★★★
"Excellent Service and Beautiful Results - Highly Recommended! I recently had In2stone install new quartz worktops in my kitchen, and I couldn't be happier with the results. From start to finish, the experience was completely stress-free. The team was not only competitively priced but also incredibly friendly and professional throughout the entire process. They handled everything seamlessly - removing the existing sink, hob, and old laminate worktops before fitting the new quartz surfaces. The finished worktops are absolutely beautiful and have transformed my kitchen into a modern, minimalist space that I love spending time in. The quality of workmanship is outstanding, and the attention to detail really shows. I'm a very satisfied customer and would highly recommend In2stone to anyone considering new worktops. Well done to the entire team - you've exceeded my expectations!"
