Cobbed: irregular Relief. Quite flat piece although not as much as in other finished. If the cobbed surface obeys to the mineral presence, the surface has a characteristic brightness and if it corresponds with a foliation the plane is something fibrous. The sandstone quartzites offer flat surfaces with some step.
Natural cut: natural Appearance. The relief is more accentuated, irregular and rough that in the case of stones flatted, appearing protuberances and entrants of several millimeters that define a more or less flat surface. It is the method used in paving stones and other pieces destined to the rise of walls.
Polished: a smooth surface, flat and shining, without no type of ray or visible scratch. This procedure, besides to provide specific aesthetic characteristics, contributes to leave a porosity closed and make the material more resistance to external aggressions. The polished emphasizes specially the aspect of the rock, being observed clearly its texture and colors. The tone that is obtained is darker than the obtained one with other superficial treatments.
