This surface is very smooth and not very porous. The reflectivity of polished crystals brings out the brilliant colors and grains of natural stone. The shine comes from the natural reflection of the stones crystals. Polishing bricks and polishing powders that are used during fabrication provide the polish.

Honed
Same as the polished finish, but without the final shine. Range from no reflection to a smooth satin finish. The range depends on the abrasives and the type (density) of the stone. Honed floors should always be protected with Stone guard Penetrating Sealer because it has wide-open pores.
Tumbled
The surface and edges appear to be rough and textured that is achieved by tumbling small pieces of marble, limestone, sometimes granite to achieve an archaic/worn appearance, and ideal for rustic settings.
Filled
Filler is used to fill the holes in travertine. It is much more practical for the floor and provides a smoother look.
Antiqued
Similar to the honed, tumble, or flamed finish; however, it should appear to have a slight sheen. Symbolizing stone that was originally was installed rough and raw. Can be stained with dark tints and waxes for traditional look.
