Adam ,
After looking at Stuart comments I went back a looked at the picture again. There are no fills in the stone so the comment on possibly being botticino is probably correct. M y concern is still the strips in the stone. if you diamond hone it , I feel you are going to remove the strips and the customer may not be happy. As always I recommend you TEST IT !!!
The test should be in a closet, or somewhere less noticeable.

If the strips do hone away what is the customer expectations ? If the customer want the strips in the stone finish you have a challenge. That is to hone the floor, repolish the floor and maintain the strips. If this is what the customer is looking to maintain, then this will be a totally new discussion

Hey Adam,
That looks like 2 different types of botticino.
Botticino fiorito and semi classico together.
should be interesting if you have to polish it.
Looks like somekind of lamination-where did you find that.

Partners,
Can you help me to ID this type of tile? It seems to be a 6"x12" tile made out of 1" wide strips of different marbles. Any potential issues with diamond honning and polishing this type of floor?
