I have a basalt garden feature. Its top has been polished to a beautiful glossy finish, but it is not the deep black water-like finish I have seen on other pieces. It is more of a dark glossy gray. Someone told me that the basalt should have been burnished before polishing. Is there something I can do to achieve the deeper black? How do you burnish basalt?
thanks
