Stuart,

Thanks for your assessment. I think the brushed travertine is really what we're talking about, as there is not a topical finish or coating.

Tumbled Travertine usually has a honed matte appearance.
Plastic like or somewhat shiny look can be Representative of a brushed surface.
It can also be an indication of a coating-test with a razor blade.
Refinishing tumbled stone can be done using low grit honing powders and sometimes color enhancers.
the plastic like look can be replicated using diamond impregnated pads and or antiquing brushes.( higher grit run dry).

I'm looking for some guidance on returning the factory finish to what I refer to as tumbled travertine. After the scratch repair would be completed, what's your best recommendation on mimicking the original finish that is smooth with a plastic - like appearance. Picture attached...
