Side note: Gemworld has also read on the internet that Tin Oxide is good for touching up dull areas in a marble and granite countertops. We have NOT tried it; please do your own research before you buy. Here are some customer comments:

"Tin oxide polishing products can be used to buff out scratches and scuffs and bring back the original brightness and luster to marble and granite surfaces. In a similar chemical reaction to that with glass, tin oxide restores the luster of a stone surface--especially marble flooring that can become dull over time. The technique for polishing is relatively simply: Apply tin oxide to the surface with a damp cloth and continuously rub and polish the surface until you achieve the desired sheen.
