Great advise however that does not solve the issue that the stone is not what was purchased.  It will just happen again..but this is a good alternative to fix the problem temporarily

There was a time when I would walk if my clients had issues with Black
Absolute. No more. I agree with the advice given by our experts but would
like to offer another alternative.  Akemi has developed a NEW liquid
polish for marble and granite that work like a charm. (not crystalizer!)

We took a piece of black marble, poured acid on it and burned it bad. The
Akemi rep., using ONLY this polish- 4-5 applications, polished the burn
right out of the marble. I could not believe my eyes. If you have trouble
locating this product give me a call. Good luck.
