Don ,
This is Tennessee Pink, this stone is easy to work on. Form the pictures I would say you could do a 220, 400 5X powder polish and the floor would look great. if it makes you feel better you could hone up to 800 but should not be necessary if you spend enough time on the 220 and 400 grit and the polishing.
The white lines could be some etching form the wate3r and in that case you will probably need to hone the stone to remove the damage.

Happy May 1st to all:
I have looked through my books and cannot find the name of the brown stone in the pic. I thought maybe Pietra Dorata from the MIA book but it is obviously darker. I am doing a proposal on Tues so help would be appreciated. The floor is over 100 years old.
Another issue is white lines from water on a travertine shower in the mountains of Colorado. Did it 5 years ago and they want me back. Spoke with client about water softener, etc. but she indicated her water had been tested and nothing problematic found. It is quite visible. I know this has been addressed before but I cannot find anything on it.
Thanks in advance.
