Natural Cleft

Honed

Cascade

Natural Cleft - a textured, natural finish, both visually and to the touch. Achieved by splitting the stone along its cleave with a hammer and chisel.

Honed - an extremely smooth, eggshell finish. Achieved with the use of fine diamonds.

Cascade - A fairly flat, uniform finish with subtle ripples and soft texture. Lighter gray in color.
