Fantasy Silver Satin is a light grey marble from northern India. It is such a hard marble, it needs to be cut using a granite gang saw instead of a marble gang saw. Due to its hardness, it is well suited for kitchen countertop use. This marble can have diagonal or linear movement depending on the block. The faint white veining dispersed across a grey background gives this marble a luxurious look. During the brushing process, an epoxy resin is applied to the surface of the stone to fill in any natural pits, cracks or fissures that may exist. This does not affect the durability, maintenance or beauty of the stone. It is possible for some of the more minute pits that are too small to effectively hold the resin, to reopen during other finishing stages. However, this will not detract from the overall quality or appearance of the stone. Due to the qualities of the stone, the slabs are book-matched; meaning slab one and slab two will be cut and brushed to create a mirror image of each other. These are then kept in sequence, which allows for a consistent flow in pattern. As a natural stone product it is recommended that it be sealed to extend its longevity.
