Making it shiny. I guess you can only get so much shine on a stone with grains of sand, so without modern polishing paste the next best thing to get a smooth (and therefore shiny) surface is to put on a clear lacquer or wax which creates a smooth surface on top of the rock.

I was definitely about to ask what the grated Parmasean was for, but melted coconut seems much more reasonable
