Honed rather than polished, the surface stays quiet and matte — the right move for a material this graphic. Polished would push the cellular pattern toward novelty; honed lets it sit as architecture.
Slab dimension is 72″ × 110″. Specify on a powder vanity, a small island, or a fireplace surround where the pattern can read as a single composition. On the floor.
