Yosemite Falls Quartzite - Honed of Polished?

6 years ago
last modified: 6 years ago

We're about to put a deposit for a Yosemite Falls quartzite. I'm not a fan of the polished look but the fabricator said they can hone it for an additional $800. They did warn me though that honing takes its protective layer away and it basically makes the quartzite like a marble in terms of maintenance. I'm paraphrasing it, but my fabricator made it clear that honing it will make it etch more easily.

Is that true? I read some threads here that if it etches, it's not quartzite, but is that for honed as well? I'll attach a photo shortly.

Please advise! They are quoting me about $99/sq ft installed for it, so at this price point is almost comparable to expensive marble...
