This is a slightly textured surface achieved by firing sand and other materials at the stone. It has a unique set of pits and holes that are irregular depending on the tile's natural texture.

For example, there is a low level of maintenance involved due to the stone's rugged, rustic style. This finish is prone to collecting the dirt, but this only adds to the tile's unique effect and is a style which is often favored to the straight-from-the-quarry look.Its texture also provides a sufficient level of slip resistance, making it perfect for bathroom floors, patios, and entrance halls that will often become wet and otherwise dangerous.
