  <div>Paul,</div>
  <div>Some of the green stone don&#39;t polish at all. You can get a little sheen 
  but no gloss. </div>
  <div>Try a little of MB 20 and hopefully you can get richer color and some 
  gloss.</div>
  <div>Good luck</div>

    <div>When I started the stone had a light shine, and lots of etchmarks. The 
    original intent was to remove etchmarks and go to 400 diamonds and then use 
    800 grit honing powder. Only the honing powder produced no result. In fact, 
    the stone looked dull and lifeless at this point. Tried color enhancer, no 
    luck. </div>
    <div>At this point, I was simply looking for some type of result, a way to 
    put some life back into the stone</div>
    <div> </div>
    <div>I started (using VS diamonds)  at 120 because there were several 
    etch marks. When they didn&#39;t come out with 120 I dropped to 50 and was 
    successful. Then I just ran the diamonds up to 800 and tried to polish with 
    5x.. No result.Then I proceeded up the grits. Tried MB 12. No result. Tried 
    5x again, no result still. In the end, the only thing that gave me any 
    &quot;shine&quot; was crystalizer, which looked aweful (but shiney).</div>
    <div>Now I have to go back and get some better results.</div>
