Yes, any rock that is pitted grooved or polished is usually caused by wind abrasion.
The polished surfaces of rock created through the movement of rock along a fault are known as slickensides. These surfaces are often characterized by their shiny appearance due to the grinding and polishing action caused by the frictional movement of rocks. Slickensides can provide valuable information about the direction and nature of past fault movement.
A monument could be made from many types of rock. Polished granite and marble, are two popular kinds.
Marble is a rock that can take a highly polished lustre - especially black or white veined marble.

Rock tumbling is when small pebbles are mechanically turned over and over for many hours, in a container of fine abrasive/polishing semi-liquid. The end result is polished pebbles for use in arts and crafts ornaments and jewellery.
When rocks are pitted or polished by windblown sediments, it is a process known as abrasion. The sediments carried by the wind act as abrasives, wearing down the surface of the rocks over time. This can result in a smoother, polished look or create pits and grooves on the rock surface.
Ventifacts are typically created by erosion. They form when windblown particles impact and abrade a rock surface, causing it to be polished, pitted, or faceted over time.
About 20% of all diamonds mined can be cut and polished into gemstones -- and in that case, you could call one a 'polished rock'. 'Polished rock' is not considered a natural state for a raw diamond, however.

It has a polished reflective surface.

Rock Tumbling is fun!! You put your rocks into a roller and spin it, it cleans your rocks!

Luster means that something has a shiny or glossy surface. Basalt is a rock that does not have a luster at all.
It depends what type of rock you want to polish.
Glacial abrasion is the process responsible for the scraping action that creates a polished look on solid rock as a glacier moves over it. This occurs when rocks embedded in the base of the glacier grind against the underlying bedrock, smoothing and polishing it. The fine rock powder produced during this process is known as rock flour.
If you're asking what volcanic rock can be sharpened as a cutting tool, the answer is obsidian.
