For those interested in natural VS artificial matter ;)
The thing about terrazzo - nowadays you can make it look whatever you like. It's also much cheaper than stone ;) the show off are finer details. ie beveled/soft edges vs hard cuts and other imperfections on stone. Terrazzo is also finer polished, really glossy & better detailed since it's softer, easier to form as it also includes resin. Pure natural stone always reveals imperfections as small crackles, fogginess, some roughness no matter what. That's the Nature of & in it. Everything flows and it all grows, decays. The softer the stone is, the better the microscopic anomalies can be observed. Which also makes it cheaper, less hard to work on. Same goes for wood, even gems & precious stones - unless naturally occurring, geologically formed micro veins & crackles are filled with other substances or specially treated with extreme heat - which makes it very costly. But then, how can you know since you can't observe, experience it in any common household. All modern matter you can touch and look at is concrete, metal, glass & plastics... and of course, pixels - the matrix is already your belief, your truth.
