Several years back I did a huge master bath in the Florida Keys, this stone on floors and counter
I did a full lippage grind restoration, started 50 resin, honed to 800 tried to polish, not great, went back to 800, then 1800 and polished with 5x compound, sealed ,burnished 3000, it was perfect ! I think going all the up before polishing is key on this stone,plus grinding below whatever installers or contractors put on it
Hope this helps

To All,
This limestone, about 1200 sq. ft., was installed in a home last November. It was “sealed" at time of installation. However, I am led to believe that construction debris was possibly sealed in to the floor. The sealing was not done in a timely fashion, as I have come to understand. We were called to “fix” the problem. So we honed it with 800 pads and then sealed again. A cloudiness persists. This stone has a degree of reflectivity in some parts of a tile, and other parts of the same tile are flat (no reflection). You can see that there is a lot of veining on this stone. This Friday I was going to take it down to 200 grit to see if I can please the homeowner. If any of you have experience with this stone and have suggestions, I’d love to hear from you. If not, where can I get some dynamite.
