The size and thickness will depend on the project; however, diamond-studded cutters are not an unusual way of shaping the rock. While stone is polished in the front, it is ground in the back to be flat or ribbed. The polished side is installed up, and can have a variety of natural looks post-polishing. For example, an almost-mirror or glass surface, a rougher texture, or a smooth but slightly rough surface.
