1 Polishing
Polishing brings a shine and smoothness to the surface
of stone after cutting into pieces of different sizes and
thickness.

2 Limitations
The stone flakes; however, periodic polishing using pol-
ishing wax can eliminate this phenomenon. Since it is
limestone it is not resistant to acid and alkali. Kota Stone
competes in the market for its lower cost and longer dura-
bility. It is used throughout India specially at railway sta-
tions and government offices.
