Textures will vary depending on what finish you choose. The polished and commercial finishes will tend to be the smoothest and the pebbles used in Gemstone pebble products are delicately smoothed by nature, giving the surface a textured finish that is non-abrasive and very pleasing to the touch. Keep in mind that your Gemstone finish should never feel sharp or jagged, hiring an experienced installer is key. The smaller pebble in the mixture, the less texture you will feel.
