Paul,

 

This is a follow up to our phone call today, I would switch over to granite diamonds , hone up to 3000 this should give you some shine, then instead of using the granite powder with crystallizer , replace the crystallizer with water and use a hog hair pad. I think you  will achieve the finish you and the customer are looking for.

Paul-dont you just need to hone this? maybe a slight sheen to it? I think its called Fossil green honed limestone?

Just for giggles try a small test area using sandpaper or screens, Start lower- see what you get at 220 and higher. Its possible you may be able to get a better result dry.At least you will be able to see what you are doing. If you do maybe you can finish with 1500 or 3000 twister or norton at high speed and dry. If it does work you would have to protect the area from dust. Those genesis resin pads are very good there made by abrasive technology in canada.   Just a thought.

Paul,

Some of the green stone don't polish at all. You can get a little sheen but no gloss.

Try a little of MB 20 and hopefully you can get richer color and some gloss.

Good luck

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.

At this point, I was simply looking for some type of result, a way to put some life back into the stone

 

I started (using VS diamonds)  at 120 because there were several etch marks. When they didn'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 "shine" was crystalizer, which looked aweful (but shiney).

Now I have to go back and get some better results.

What was the damage? 

Why did you need to start at 50 grit?

What did it look prior to you touching it?
