It's Not Just About Color
The texture of the stone can completely transform a project. Here are the three kings of finishing.
1. Polished (The Classic)
Look: Mirror-like, glossy, deepens the color.
Pros: Seals the pores, easy to clean.
Cons: Shows scratches and etching easily.
2. Honed (The Modern Matte)
Look: Satin, matte, smooth to touch.
Pros: Hides scratches well. Very popular in Europe and Modern US homes.
Cons: More porous. Requires frequent sealing.
3. Leathered (The Texture)
Look: Rippled, textured, soft sheen.
Process: Diamond brushes scour the softer parts of the stone.
Best For: Absolute Black and Steel Grey. It hides fingerprints perfectly.
