Natural: Natural texture comes with natural clefts which imparts a very natural look. The natural surface texture is achieved by ripping along its line of cleavage to reveal the natural grain & texture.

Flamed: Flamed texture provides a rough surface. The roughness in the surface is a result of bursting of crystals when the stone is heated.

Polished: Polished surface texture is a reflection of polished crystals. Such texture brings out the brilliant colors and grains of natural stones. The shine on stone surface comes from polishing bricks and powders used during fabrication and not from any coating.

Honed: Non-reflective surface, honed texture is produced by grinding a surface with high grit material to a uniform specification. Thus honed stone colors are not as vibrant as polished stones. A smooth finish with a slight sheen is produced by using a polishing head.

Sand Blasted: Sand Blasted is characterized by a textured surface with a matte gloss. The sand blasting involves projecting a high-pressure airline coarse-grained grit, onto the top surface of the stone.

Bush Hammered: The top surface is pneumatically tooled to produce a pitted or grooved surface finish.

Sawn: Sawn surface is coarsely polished leaving a semi-smooth, regular finish. It is done by using a gang saw.
