Best way to restore old marble?
I have a small antique table top (aprox 8 sq. ft. ) that consists of two slabs of swirled black, white and gray marble. It is dull, very lightly scratched, stained and has one 2" x 3 " area that is etched. The wooden sides and legs have inlaid pieces of mother of pearl that pop out if the table is moved even short distances.
I have no idea what stained the table as we bought it in this condition. I am considering simply making a tin oxide paste, and using a felt pad with a low speed orbital sander. I would be happy with a clean matt finish, with a slight shine.
Do you think that I need to actually hone the dull marble or might the above process followed by use of a sealer and good marble polish, suffice? I know this will be a best guess without being able to see the condition.
Appreciate any advice you might give me.

Go to Home Depot and buy GEL-GLOSS. It is next to the sinks and tubs. You apply like car wax and buff it out.

It comes in a can at home depot and it is a cleaner-polish and rejuvinator. Don't get the aerosol.
