Kevin,

Where the pictures?

Have you tried to polish it like you would granite?? This stone is probably
low in calcium and will react better to the granite polishing process than
marble polishing processes.

>>> 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!
