Lack of context

This is the first time i am seeing this word and i can't seem to get the context, i checked multiple sites but this is all i got. Is it polishing of stones, or polishing in the same manner as stones? Eminix (talk) 13:36, 27 June 2017 (UTC)

• Seems to be the polishing of stones. Even the OED doesn't make it very clear. SemperBlotto (talk) 15:10, 27 June 2017 (UTC)
