Generally onyx is very soft and polishes easily. I had an occurance once, that 5x polishing powder on white pad was scratching the stone and I had to sift the powder to get finer almost dust like particles. It etches very easily. Now we only use mb 22 to polish it - helps with etching little bit.

Subject: [sccpartners] onyx vanity


To everyone,
We are doing a restoration job for an entire apartment in Manhattan and they have a onyx vanity and sink in one of the bathroom which have become dull and needs some facelift .
They were originally polished, but across time and use they have lost their
sheen. I have no experience with onyx. Does it polish like marble? Is it
hard like granite? I haven't the slightest idea. Any experience out
there polishing this stone?
