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. |

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. |
|

Yes - I want a grey stone, not black. |
|

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). |
|

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? |

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. |
