Is there any easy method to make this surface have more friction without
damaging the appearance or the surface itself?

Thanks for any suggestions.


FWIW, polyurethanes are inherently high friction. A water based PU
varnish might give you the result you want. It will be light colored,
so the stone may not change appearance very much. Try a small section
somewhat out of view to see whether the improved friction works for
you.

really? sliding over polyurethaned hardwood floors in socks comes to mind.
