The Uniqueness of the Species 

The name of the stone indicates its blue color. But, actually the granite is more silver or metallic blue color rather than a proper blue color. The composition of large amount of mica, along with quartz gives the stone a pearlescent luster after polishing. The other colors of the surface of the stone are white, gray, blue-gray and black flecks.

Honing

Like all granites, Pearl Blue Granite can be honed to make a perfect finish, a matte finish. This process will produce the stone more muffled and give the stone a matte finishing. Honing will show more natural cracks that can be hidden by polishing. The presence of large amount of mica in the stone will lead to more fissures that also can be finished with this process.  Honing also helps to bring out stone’s blue color and give it more sober visual aspect.
