POLISHED
This is the most common finish where the stone appears smooth and shiny. The stone can appear darker and highlights the colour and crystal structures in it more prominently. A polished finish does seal or close more pores on the surface of the stone which helps to repel any moisture, and therefore makes it easier to keep clean.
HONED
A Honed finish is still smooth to the touch but simply without the shine of a full gloss polish.It appears more natural looking, with the colour and patterns being “softer” looking.
LEATHERED
The Leathered finish takes stone to a new level of uniqueness. It is similar to the honed finish but has a textured or leathered feel to the touch, whilst still highlighting the characteristics and colour of the stone.
