The matte surface, in turn, is the result of a meticulous treatment that aims to create a smooth, flat and uniform texture on the stone, resulting in a perfect finish for those looking for a matte, non-reflective appearance.

This procedure gives the stone a much softer sensation to the touch, creating a different tactile experience. However, it is important to note that this type of finish makes the stone more prone to stains, requiring the customer to have an even more frequent cleaning routine and the regular application of special sealants to maintain its beauty over time.
