Megan: This is absolute black honed. The regular absolute black pretty much has no speckles, it's solid.

I don\'t like the speckles in the absolute granite. Is there a solid black stone out there?

Fran: Absolute black is an extremely dense material. It doesn't require sealing. The water marks are most probably hard water deposits and would show just the same on a sealed stone surface.

Fran: Technically it is possible but to achieve a good finish water has to be used in the polishing process which obviously would be really messy if done on already installed stone.

Can honed absolute black granite to resealed over water marks without the spots showing?

Can honed absolute black granite be polished on site?

Kit: It's the same as polished. The picture does not really show the true color, but the stone is completely black when sealed. I think it will look fine with blue cabinets.

how does this compare to regular black granite polished better worse? or the same.? would this work with blue cabinets?

Lindsay: Anticado stands for "antique". It could mean that the the slabs have an antique finish which is a bit different from honed. It has a very definite texture.

Lindsay: All honed surfaces will show marks and dirt. Absolute is actually one of the easier to clean.

I wrote the previous question as well. What is the difference between the absolute black anticado and honed? Is the anticado more durable?

We are planning on using honed absolute black for a master bath counter but have heard fingerprints and cleaning marks show considerably. Any other recommendations for a honed, gray look?

Susan: Try Impala Black and San Gabriel Black. They are dark grey in color.

Name: Susan	Date: 2009-01-12 19:11:50
Yes - I want a grey stone, not black.

All Granite and Marble - Moderator	Date: 2009-01-07 09:36:40
Susan: So I understand that you want a gray but in a polished finish? Or do you want Absolute Black?

Name: Susan	Date: 2009-01-06 21:37:00
I am interested in the color, but probably not a honed finish, due to its maintenance requirements. Any suggestions?

Becky: Not much can be done. It's the nature of the stone (flat black and honed).

Name: Becky	Date: 2008-02-27 09:04:38
I have a sample of Absolute Black Honed, and I don't like the way the fingerprints show on it. Is there anything you can do to minimize the fingerprints? A type of sealant?

Elizabeth Ellsworth: Fax us the drawing with dimensions.

Hi. Can I get a quote for an island top that is 90" by 30" with a bend (i.e. L shaped). I can fax a drawing or email a photo of the design.
