About Oconee
Oconee is a natural granite quarried in the United States, renowned for its medium grain and striking multicolour appearance. The stone combines creamy whites and beiges with deep gray and black speckles, creating a dynamic, variegated surface that works well in both contemporary and classic settings. Its uniform texture and subtle veining make Oconee suitable for flooring, wall cladding, countertops, and exterior applications. Recommended finishes include polished for a high‑shine look or honed for a softer, matte aesthetic. Marmi di Carrara supplies Oconee in blocks and 2‑3 cm thick slabs, offering cut‑to‑size services and real‑project photos before purchase.

Finishes for Oconee
Polished
Mirror-like gloss that brings out colour and veining at full depth. The classic choice for walls, tops and interior floors; slippery when wet.
Honed
Smooth and matt, with a soft satin look. Hides small scratches and etching better than a polish and is safer underfoot.
Leathered
A brushed texture on hard stones: matt, lightly textured and very good at hiding fingerprints and water marks on worktops.
Bush-hammered
A rough, pitted surface made with a toothed hammer. Maximum slip resistance for exterior paving, ramps and steps.
Flamed
A thermal finish that makes the crystals burst and leaves a rough, non-slip surface. The standard for exterior granite.
Care and maintenance
- Clean with water and a neutral detergent; hard stones tolerate everyday use very well.
- Sealing is quick and recommended on light colours and on honed, leathered or flamed finishes.
- Avoid waxes and film-forming products that leave a layer on the surface.
- Outdoors, an occasional wash with a pressure cleaner at moderate pressure restores the colour.
- Hot pans, knives and frost are not a problem for most stones of this family; use trivets anyway to protect sealers.
