When crystals, rocks and minerals are polished it can dramatically improve colour, texture and the way light interacts with the surface of the stone.

Polishing can bring out features and characteristics that would otherwise not be seen.

This is particularly relevant in rocks and minerals that exhibit optical phenomena such as chatoyance, schiller, asterism or play of colour.

Polishing may also reveal more intricate detail about the complexity of their formation. 

Some rocks and minerals are more aesthetically pleasing when polished.  It can also make them more tactile.

The pieces in this section of our website have been partly or fully polished.
