WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN POLISHING AND HONING?

A honed surface is flatter and will almost always appear lighter in color. Because the surface does not reflect light, it has a more natural look to it.

A polished surface uses an extra step and finer grit to make the surface reflective, as well as emphasizing the color and veins of the stone. This gives the material a brighter appearance.
