Granite slab - Honed (matte smooth) finish
Black Mist Honed Granite 3CM Granite
Black Mist Honed Granite 3CM is a honed-finish granite from ST Stones - the surface is sanded to a matte smooth finish (rather than polished to a high gloss). The honed surface reads more contemporary than a high-polish granite. Honed granite shows water spots and fingerprints slightly more than a leather finish, but less than a high-polish. Pair with a regular impregnating sealer for stain resistance.

Character
How Black Mist Honed Granite 3CM reads in a kitchen
Black Mist Honed Granite 3CM is a deep dark granite with the maximum drama of any natural stone. Black granites read dense and grounded; pair with white or light cabinetry for high contrast, or with dark wood cabinetry for a moody monochrome read.
South Florida fit
Why granite works in our climate
Granite is one of the most durable countertop choices for a Palm Beach County kitchen. It's a true natural igneous stone, highly heat-resistant (you can set a hot pan directly on it), scratch-resistant from daily kitchen use, and well suited to South Florida humidity. Black Mist Honed Granite 3CM should be sealed at installation and re-sealed every 1-2 years to keep the surface stain-resistant against oil, wine, and citrus.
Pairings
Cabinetry, hardware, and design context
Black Mist Honed Granite 3CM pairs with most South Florida cabinet palettes. Bring your cabinet and floor samples to the in-home consultation - we'll lay them next to a Black Mist Honed Granite 3CM sample under your actual kitchen lighting before any final commitment. Real granite reads dramatically different under cool LED kitchen light vs warm incandescent vs south-facing daylight, so in-person review is essential.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Black Mist Honed Granite 3CM
Does Black Mist Honed Granite 3CM need to be sealed?
Yes - granite is a natural stone (unlike engineered quartz) and should be sealed at installation and re-sealed every 1-2 years to keep the surface stain-resistant. A standard impregnating sealer is the right choice; we'll walk through care during your consultation.
Is Black Mist Honed Granite 3CM heat-resistant?
Yes - granite is one of the most heat-resistant countertop options. You can set a hot pan directly on the surface without damage. (We still recommend trivets for very long heat exposure - extreme thermal shock over a small area can theoretically crack any stone.)
Will I get the exact slab I see in this photo?
Granite is natural stone - every slab is unique. The photo shows one example of the Black Mist Honed Granite 3CM pattern; your actual slab may vary in veining, mineral inclusion, and tone. We always recommend visiting ST Stones' yard with us to pick your specific slab before fabrication so the figure and tone match your kitchen.
Countertop care, fabrication, and certification standards referenced on this page follow guidelines from the Natural Stone Institute, the MIA — Marble Institute of America, and the NKBA — National Kitchen + Bath Association.
