Tim,
I want to marble the counter top in our new home. After cutting some pieces I am left with a matte finishe edge. What is the best way to polish it? Gill

Gill,
You need to have a spinning grinder type tool or you can use a drill. You must equip either tool with a round disc that accepts a fluffy pad as you might use to polish a car when using an orbital polisher. Once you have the tool and disc, you need to go to a marble fabricator and buy a stick of polishing rouge or polishing compound. You apply this abrasive compound to the disc pad and polish the rough surface of the marble with a careful back and forth motion.
The marble fabricator will possibly sell you two different polishing compounds. One being finer than the other. It is very easy to polish the marble.
