Stone is normally available in various textures and finishes:

Polished: The Most popular finish – One side is Finished by the action of the Abrasives on polishing head, gives a mirror finish on Granite, and diminishing in the reflective properties, as we go from Granite to marble and slate etc.

Honed: A smooth but unpolished finish, produced by using a less number of abrasives on a polishing head – leading to smooth but Non-reflective surface.

Hand Split or Cleft: A traditional treatment in which the stone is split along its line of cleavage to open the same at the natural grain; thereby giving a surface with great character.

Grit or Sand Blasted: The action of coarse-grained grits, blasted onto the top surface of the stone, with the help of water, produces a natural finish similar to hand split or cleft.

Flamed: The surface of the stone is Flamed or burnt off with a high temperature apparatus (similar to blow torch). This gives a contoured finish, based on the internal characteristics of the stones.
