50mm Thick Yorkshire Sandstone Fireplace Hearth

A uniform close grained sandstone with in a few cases odd areas of dark flecks which are black iron oxide.
The honed finish is smooth but without any traces of a shine.The surface is however fairly porous and in a “dirty” environment such as an open fire, treatment is essential to prevent it absorbing soot and ash.
Due to its brittle nature the minimum thickness available is 50 mm.
