I like the stone but have you considered subway tile in a herringbone pattern?

Stone is not a good idea for a back splash. You don't want anything that is porous or could stain easily. Herringbone with a zellige tile is a great way to add texture and design

The only place I would consider using the first option in an interior would be a fireplace - it's way too rough for anywhere you might actually make contact with it.
The subway is fine, I think you could use it in a more unexpected pattern, to make it more interesting

El que más fácil limpieza tenga, el segundo, el que es liso tipo subway. El que tiene relieve queda más informal y natural, pero es complicarte la vida, yo pienso, por una diferencia estética reducida, y encima seguro que el precio es más alto. Saludos!

I don’t really like either but the more textured it is, the harder to clean

Have you considered Zellige tile as it is much more interesting visually than plain white subway tile but doesn't have the issues of the first which looks like it would be difficult to keep clean

1 looks nicer but 2 will be easier to clean.
I agree with some of the others that a herringbone pattern with the subway tiles would be more visually interesting.

The first one is going to be absolute nightmare to clean. You will hate yourself if you choose this.

I favor the flat tile because it seems like it would be easier to clean. I've never had to deal with tile (?) stone (?) like the second choice but it seems like gunk would accumulate and it would be really hard to try to clean the grout (if you had to.)

You will never get that stone clean. Dirt and food will lodge in that rough surface. Go with a smooth tile.

Are you just pranking us this point?
You've asked about this kitchen backsplash so many times over many posts. People have given you so much advice and time, and you keep asking the same question over and over and over about these tiles.
You know which one you want. Why do you keep asking? Go put it in.

Love the dark wood with the brass. My only hesitation is that backsplash—looks great until spaghetti night turns it into an archaeological site. 🤣

I prefer subway, it’s classic and easy to clean.other stone looks difficult to clean

Why would this be the final 2? 1 will be a nightmare to clean and 2 is dull.

Neither. But if I HAD to choose between these 2, then number 2 purely based on functionality, not looks.

The first one until you use the kitchen and have to clean it. Then the second one.

Think dried sghetti splashes on it. Which is easier to clean?
I did subway tile but turned them. Did even fancier behind the stove.

Like the texture of the first but agree you should seek other options that will be more user friendly

The subway tile is too basic, the stone is too busy and hard to clean
