Yes, I think you would have a somewhat 'matte' finish as a default, as the stone itself is textured...a couple of things about having stamping/staining done...questions to ask your masonry contractor: 1. Do you own your concrete forms? (They are expensive, so that is an indicator of how much stamping they may do). 2. Is it a 2 color process? 3. Is it hand applied or integral color? 4. Who is the actual installer? 5. How skilled are they?

Best to you!
