With the holidays we've missed the last two weeks of Slab Sundays. While I certainly enjoyed the time off, I do like being back on a regular schedule.
Cambrian Black granite with a Satin Finish is our slab of the week.
Cambrian Black granite is quarried from a bedrock quarry in Canada.
The Satin Finish is optional, you can also find Cambrian Black with the usual Polished Finish that can be honed as well.
I posted this vanity from our portfolio here earlier this week, there just aren't a lot of pictures of this stone out there.
The Satin Finish is obtained by using a series of wire rotary brushes on the stone. The Cambrian Black granite is a fairly hard granite, so the brushing doesn't go too deep into the stone. it provides just a soft leathery finish. You will also hear it called an Antique Finish or a Leather Finish. It's all the same.
Keep in mind the Satin Finish makes it a textured finish. So it won't be great for desks without a writing pad.
Cambrian Black Satin Finish is available in 2 cm and 3 cm slabs.

I love your blog. Love all the pictures of different kitchens and stones...but my goodness...I'M LOVING WHITEOUT WEDNESDAYS!
So glad that you like them.
Thanks for reading! :)
We are considering antiqued cambrian black. I am reading differing opinions about sealing this granite. Do you have an opinion?
Anonymous-
I don't think you need to seal the Cambrian Black. It's a dense enough stone that you shouldn't ever have any staining issues.
If it starts absorbing water around the sink area fairly quickly then I'd throw a coat of sealer on it.
Purchased cambrian black with antique finish. It was absolutely beautiful when installed. After a few hours there were several white streaks that appeared. The installer sent someone over and they used a grinder on the streaks. Now there are black flat spots all over the counter tops. What do you suggest I do?
