Winona Stone in River Rose is a light gray dolomite limestone with strong buff tones and traces of brown and cream. River Rose contains notable honeycomb pattern with pores and fossil voids. Our splitface finish reveals deeper gold and cream tones.
Honed
A smooth non-reflective finish with little or no gloss produced with surfacing bricks and no visible saw marks.
Splitface
A rough face formed by splitting slabs in a hydraulic press machine. Generally, the slabs are sawed parallel to bedding in stratified stone, so that the split face exposes the bedding in natural orientation or overturned, but some stone is sawed perpendicular to bedding and then split with the bedding vertical, either exposed as a cleft surface or vertical.
Tapestry
A matte-textured sandblasted appearance finish to a smooth surface, producing a softer textured look.
Brushed
A subtly textured surface finish achieved by wet brushing a stone with a coarse rotary-type abrasive brush.
Natural Bed
The outermost slab produced when slabs are sawn from a block, having one side sawed and the other rough from the original quarry block face as it was formed in the stone deposit. Also known as “natural cleft”.
Sawn
A smooth flat finish obtained from the process used in the saw cutting of the blocks, slabs, or other units of building stone without further embellishment often leaving marks produced from the saw blade teeth.
Polished
A glossy, slightly reflective surface finish produced using incremental sanding bricks. (Not recommended for exterior use).
