Can I remove etching from my natural stone?

ETCHING
Occurs when stone is eaten (or neutralized) by an acid. It often looks like and is mistaken for a watermark.

GRANITE
A very hard, crystalline, igneous rock, gray to pink in color, composed of feldspar, quartz, and lesser amounts of dark Ferro magnesium materials. Black ’granites’ are similar to true ’granites’ in structure and texture, but are composed of different minerals

LIMESTONE
Sedimentary rock originated mostly by the decomposition of marine organism composed primarily of calcite or dolomite. The varieties of limestone used as dimension stone are usually well consolidated and exhibit a minimum of graining or bedding direction

MARBLE
A metamorphic crystalline rock composed predominantly of crystalline grains of calcite, dolomite, or serpentine, and capable of taking a polish

ONYX
A variety of quartz in crystalline form of calcium carbonate. It is characterized by a structure of parallel brands each differing in color or in the degree of translucency

POINT
Chisel drawn nearly to a point

POLISHED
The finest and smoothest finish available in stone, generally only possible on hard, dense materials. Or, a glossy finish which brings out the full color and character of the stone

RESTORATION
Work performed, including cleaning, repair, and finishing, returning the stone to its original character, finish, and condition

SLATE
Low-grade regional metamorphism of pelitic sediments of shale, mudstone or fine-grained tuff

TILE
A thin modular stone, generally less than ¾ inch thick

TRAVERTINE
A variety of limestone that is a precipitate from hot springs. Some varieties of travertine take a polish and are known commercially as marble. ASTM C119-03 classifies travertine in both the limestone and the marble groupings
