What is additional cost to get the leathered finish?

Honed granite has a matte finish and a smooth surface. Leather has a matte finish and a textured surface. Brushed and leather finishes are the same. Flamed, leather and honed granite counter tops are becoming a very popular choice among designers and homeowners. It is a great way to showcase the stone in a new way. It can be used for kitchen countertops. After installation, we recommend sealing your honed granite countertop with a natural stone sealer, Bulletprood by DuPont is an excellent product. With proper application of a stone sealer you will safeguard your countertop against staining.

That’s a great question. The finishing process takes place at the factory. Generally, the price for a leather finish slab is about 5% higher than a polished slab. As we purchase this material overseas, prices may vary slightly from container to container depending upon the foreign exchange rate. Hope this answer helps. Thanks, Marble of the World.

Is leathered black absolute and brushed black absolute the same? If not, will it be ok to use the brushed one (sealed) on my countertop?

The leather finished material will cost you about 8 to 10 dollars high then the polished on honed finishing.

Purchased leathered black granite (have invoice) and they installed honed granite. The honed leaves every finger print, glass mark and bowls set on counter.

I'm contacting the installer and asking for them to replace the kitchen counter with the leather granite. Any suggestions how to approach this sticky situation?
