Rock is polished, either naturally, or by human activity, by abrasion or tumbling action.
Around 100$ if Polished, 25$ if not.
glacial movement

Above the ice, primary erosion occurs by Katabatic wind. Nunataks are polished and ventafacts are faceted, grooved, and polished by blowing ice. Below the ice, the glaciers roll continental rocks downhill as they flow. Once icebergs calve off into the sea and melt below the waterline, some of these rocks drop into the seabed. It was the discovery of these continental rocks in the sea's benthos that confirmed the existence of Antarctica as a continent. Explorers made this discovery in the 1700s.
