Hi
This is my first go at the discussion link so hope that it works.
I've had great interest in what gets posted so better participate too.

I had a horror story happen. This past spring working on what my client identified to me as black honed granite. A person could also have confused it with some honed slate if he was not careful. This stuff turned out to be "basalt" . Beware. And run the othwer way if the client insists that you apply any sealers or enhancers to basalt.

Clearly identify for yourself all black honed stone products. Don't take someones word on it.

depends on how damaged it is. Some slate can be diamond honed. I would suggest you clean it and than test the honing powder to see kind of results you get.

Have a client looking to restore black slate, it's flat on the surface could it be diamond ground or could one just clean and then hit with a honing powder?
