Removing varnish and shalack from a stone

I just purchased a pretty nice little stone. It was painted with some varnish in order to provide some shine. Does anyone have experience with removing? Whats the best way...solvent, abrasive etc....?

Thanks for the help!

Hi Neil. Hi Ngoquangvu... I am interested in advice, too. Others will be interested if you can share on the forum.

Reducing natural stains is also encountered. The recommendations of John Betts on cleaning minerals from the website Bob's Rock Shop have been noted previously. Pay close attention to safety precautions.
