Which marbles come both honed and polished in 12x12?
Many 12x12 marbles here are sold in both finishes, so the same stone can be chosen matte or shiny. Calacatta T, Bardiglio Light, Italian Carrara, Bella White, Calacatta Gold, Silver Sky and Nero Marquina Premium come honed and polished from Stone Tile Depot, and MSI's Arabescato Carrara and Calacatta Marble come in both as well. Thassos comes as Thassos White Extra polished, Thassos Extra honed and Thassos honed. A honed face is smooth and matte, and a polished face is glossy and shows the veining more strongly.
