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)

Looks like it’s a mention-only word. — Ungoliant (falai) 15:09, 27 June 2017 (UTC)
 * or a dictionary-only word (OED has "Obs. rare—1. / The process of polishing. / 1592  R. Dallington tr. F. Colonna Hypnerotomachia f. 48   Diuers coulered stones..so glistering and seuerly set of a diligent Xesturgie [It. xesturgia].) SemperBlotto (talk) 15:13, 27 June 2017 (UTC)
