Adam,
A couple of things come to mind. That stone looks to me almost like a sliver travertine. I had a stone similar to that some time ago. I had to treat it like granite and was able to achieve favorable results using MB- 20. Did you perform an acid test? Did both areas have the same stones? Did you test both areas and compare results? Also if it's acid sensitive I would try MB-12.

Guys and gals,
last week i did a sample polishing for one of our clients on their limestone floor and to my disbelief i couldn't get it to shine. I went up to 1800 grit and still no gloss. Little better but no gloss as it in their atrium. The lobby where I was working had some glossy and some honed tiles. The atrium, which is connected to the lobby has only glossy tiles. Was told that it was like that from the beginning and to the designer request. I don't think so but now the client wants entire floor glossy. When we evaluated that floor prior to bidding we didn't expect this kind of difficulty getting it to the glossy finish. I tried 5x, mb22 and mb20 and no big difference between them. Crystalizer is next to try. Some veining are glossy like mirror but not the rest of it. Am i doing something wrong? Did anyone experienced something like that? What else can do?
