Limestone dolimite

I have a piece of newly mined limestone from VA Tech "Hokie Stone" I wish to display in my home. I want to bring out the natural color of the stone. SOme people tell me to leave it exposed to weather and it age and expose natural color. Others tell me to impregnate the stone. What to do to bring out the color best? Please advise. Thanks in advance. Kimball Hargis
 

Dear Kimball:

Nobody gave you the right answer !... J

How about a good-quality stone color enhancer like MB-6? Makes sense, don't it? ...

If you like the way the stone looks like when is wet (just the depth of color, not the sheen) , then the color enhancer will give you exactly the same look in a permanent way.

May I ask you now to please read and e-sign our Statement of Purpose at: http:// www.marblecleaning.org/purpose.htm? J

Ciao and good luck,

Mauri z io Bertoli
