I agree with Fred, you can also use some crystallizer on this stone and it will improve the shine

Yes that is Rainforest brown and it is not a grainte. it can be tricky to get a good polish on it. Try taking it to a high hone and try granite polish instead of marble polish..

as far as fill for the travertine use Traverfill.

That looks like Rainforest Brown on my dinky screen.
If so, it is brittle and may orange peel easily. I would hone to my highest diamonds and polish with granite powder or a cold polishing powder.

Hello Everyone, I have a customer who has a "Granite" counter that she needs cleaned and sealed. I dont think that the stone is a granite but I attached a photo. What would be the best way to polish it or clean it?
She also has Travertine floors which need a ton of filing and needs to be re finished to the original finish. What do you like to use to fill lots of holes in travertine? And what is the easiest way? Thank you in advance for any help provided.
