This is your sign to get your marble honed.

We recently had the privilege of restoring a vintage Cipollino Ondulato marble slab — a piece that had quietly yellowed over time, its once-vibrant swirls of green dulled by age. Through the meticulous process of marble honing, we revived the stone’s natural character, returning it to its original, sculptural splendor.

What Is Cipollino Ondulato Marble?

Known for its striking, undulating green veining, Cipollino Ondulato is a rare Italian marble prized for its movement and depth. Each slab feels like a work of art — organic, dramatic, and entirely one-of-a-kind.

But like many natural stones, marble is porous and sensitive to wear. Over time, exposure to UV light, moisture, and common cleaning agents can lead to discoloration, scratches, and a loss of sheen.

Why Hone Your Marble?

Honing is a gentle resurfacing technique that removes the topmost layer of marble, without compromising the integrity of the stone. It’s ideal for vintage pieces that have aged or lost their luster.

Here’s what honing can do:

→ Restore Original Color
Yellowing and dull spots are lifted, revealing the stone’s true tones beneath the surface.

→ Smooth the Surface
Scratches, light stains, and etch marks are removed, leaving a consistent and tactile finish.

→ Enhance the Finish
Whether you prefer a matte or satin look, honing refines the marble’s natural texture and elevates its visual impact.
