The polished is a bright and smooth finish, with zero porosity, and stand out the structure, colour and textu-re of the stone. This finish makes the stone too much resistance to external agents, also it is possible to apply pro-tective treatments. The pore is never completely closed, but with the polish finish can be minimized.This finish is usually applied to marble and granite, because there are compact and with a high crystallinity. The polish finish is obtained by abrasion processing until the stone becomes bright .

The stone present small crater 1 -3 mm depth and width uniform along all the surface of the stone, and usua-lly ligthen the natural colour of the stone. The hole size depend on the tools used, the strong and number of hits.There are many kinds of tools that produce a soft bushhammered or a harder one. The bushhammered is one of the most traditional finishig. Nowadays there are hammer automa-tic machines to process big surfaces.

Finish makes the stone flat, smooth and matt, without any spot or scretch, the colour is darker than other finis-hing except the polished one, and stand out the structure, colour and texture of the stone . This finish used to be applied when stone can not be polished, as limestone or sandstone with a low grade of crystallinity. The honed is the first step previous to the polished.This finish used to be applied in compact and hard stones by abra-sion processing as the polished.

Treatment to be applied in sanded sur-faces, with abrasion processing using different kind of brushes (impregna-ted abrasive substances) to get the fi-nal texture of the stone. The result get after the process is a uniform surface with a small rough and satiny texture similar to a bushhamered aged over the time. This treatment increase the stability of the surface to atmospheric chemical alteration.
