Suitable for interior and exterior applications when treated with a penetrating sealer against the adverse effects of weather and moisture. Many of this class of stone contain inclusions, and variation. Available finishes include bush hammered, chiseled, honed, and split. The porous nature of this class of stone prevents polishing. |
