>>> Can anyone tell what this stone is? I thought it might be Silver Travertine but there are no fills on the stone. The job is a brand new install that has thin-set haze on it. I was able to remove the haze with MB-12 however the stone did not pop a high shine afterwards. The job has not been grouted. The installer took a section and tried to clean with Nano scrub and a #0 steel wool pad and took the shine off the stones. Last night I tried to diamond hone in that  section with 220, 400, 800 & 1800 resins and polish it with 5x, MB 12 and MB 22, with minimal results. More importantly I have 4000 sq ft of this stone to work on. I also performed a acid test on a sample stone. The stone did not react to vinegar but did react to SCC heavy duty acid cleaner. Some of the stones are very shinny and clean others not so much. Before proceeding with other test methods I wanted to see if any partners had any experience with this stone. Thanks!
