    That's out of this world mate. Very good tiling there. Very very good.

    Had a similar pattern in an older house I had with porcelain slate coloured tile. Was a nightmare to install.

    Dave, I love what the enhancers do to natural stone, but almost never can I get a customer to be brave enough to try it. They almost always want the safe choice of the neutral sheen sealer.
