Adam ,

 

If you are having problems with 5X etching you re probably using too much powder and running it too dry. We use 5Xall the time and never have etching problems.

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.

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?
