Stone keeps a diary
Every stone records what happens to it. Polished marble shows every ring from a wine glass; honed limestone hides them; travertine fills with dust unless it is sealed.
The right stone depends on how you live, not on how the sample looks in the showroom.
A short guide
Kitchens: honed granite or a dense limestone. Bathrooms: honed marble, never polished on the floor. Hallways: travertine, filled and sealed. Anywhere with sunlight all day: avoid dark stone, it fades.
