Faceting and polishing are two separate steps in the process of manufacturing a sale-able diamond from a raw stone.
However, early diamond fanciers -- beginning as early as 6,000 BC in India -- may have simply polished the existing four facets on a naturally-occurring, pyramid-shaped diamond stone and considered the stone 'finished'.
(History, however, brought diamond cutting -- faceting -- into the ever-developing story of diamond manufacturing.)
