Travertine in Polished and Tumbled Together?

Hello again,

We have just got a project from one of our repeat customers.

Our customer asked if we can produce tumbled and polished together. Because they wanted a shiny finish of polished finish and antiquated edges (rounded) of  tumbled together.

But these 2 finishes together? One is polished and has a modern looking and tumbled has an old world looking.  They are totally opposite. And in terms of production the hardest part is,  polished surface should not be scratched because tumbled is done with stone abrasives which rounds off the edges and surface as well.

We we had worked hard on this and we were able to produce it. And here is a photo of the finished product. It is Silver Travertine Unfilled, Tumbled and Polished.

Other option is using a color enhancer to get a sheen on the surface as opposed to a special production. However machine polished has always better sheen compared to color enhancer.

We also produce Silver Travertine in Antique Pattern Brushed, Chiseled and partially filled.
