Polished Garnet

Polishing

Polishing is the process of creating a smooth and shiny surface by rubbing it or by applying a chemical treatment, leaving a clean surface with a significant specular reflection. In some materials, polishing is also able to reduce diffuse reflection to minimal values.

Garnet

Garnets are a group of silicate minerals that have been used since the Bronze Age as gemstones and abrasives.
