What Santafiora Brown sandstone looks like
Mauve dominates the slab in the photo: a pinkish brown with hints of violet gray and beige. The pattern is a fine grain that looks the same across the whole surface. A very faint dark line crosses that background, too soft to form marked veins, so the contrast stays low. The surface is matte and lets no light through. That even spread makes the whole slab read as one texture.

Santafiora Brown sandstone finishes
Sandstone lives in matte: the four finishes create no mirror shine; what changes is how much texture stays on the surface.
-
Honed
Abrasives that level the face and leave the grain flush: the softest to the touch, always matte.
-
Brushed
Brushes that soften the face and leave a light texture on it; the matte stays.
-
Sandblasted
Fires sand at the face and turns it rough, fully matte; the choice for the outdoor floor.
-
Bush-hammered
Steel tips that leave the face rough to the touch; used on exterior pavements.

Questions about Santafiora Brown sandstone
How do I tell Santafiora Brown from Santafiora Ostrea?
Both lean pink. In its photo, the Brown is an even mauve, fine-grained, with no marked veins; in the Ostrea's photo, Santafiora Ostrea looks smoother and gathers its fossil shells in one corner. In their photos, the other three (Fiorita, Havana and Venata) go beige or cream.
Does Santafiora Brown sandstone work for a kitchen countertop?
No. It is a porous stone that absorbs grease, the one liquid that rules a kitchen countertop. Its place is on the facade, the wall and the outdoor floor.
Does Santafiora Brown need sealer?
Yes, as long as the piece lives indoors. Sandstone is porous and absorbs water and grease; the sealer forms a barrier against stains. It is the same reason this stone stays off kitchen countertops.
Does Santafiora Brown sandstone stand up to the weather?
It holds up well: sandstone is used on facades, walls and outdoor floors. Over the years the weather leaves a patina on it; that is part of the stone's character, not damage. If your project is a facade, see facades and walls.
Is the slab in the photo real?
Real: it is a Santafiora Brown slab, with a full shot and a close-up of the grain. Every slab is different. Before you buy we send photos of the slabs available for your order.
