Take a strong light and look into the stone..If you see circular swirl marks than it may have been crystallized. . Many times people who crystallize leave these marks from the steel wool. If it has been it may take a 120 to cut the crystallized layer off. but test first.

If it is crystalized you might have a hard time breaking thru the surface crust with 220 resins.

Roger,
Did customer tell you that it was crystallized or there are signs somewhere that tells it was. Just curious.
 
If there are no big scratches I would start with 220 for 4 minutes and then go to 120 if necessary.

If a floor is crystallized, must it be leveled 1st to be restored.  I’m looking at a job that was crystallized last time it was restored. See the attached picture. My thoughts are that the tiles are oversized. Looking at the floor the tiles are pretty worn and really do not show signs of being crystallized. My thoughts are to start with 120 under white pad, if needed to go lower. Would appreciate any advice.

Thanks,

Roger Konarski
