i’m hearing difeerent opinions, some say they never heard of it and some are charging astronomical amounts to do it.
any ideas?

If you hire a stone specialist they have special tools & machines. The job is messy & the good guys are expensive but it is definitely possible I had 1000 square feet of limestone done this way to make the floor perfectly smooth cost $3 per sq. foot though 6 years ago.
When I did my floor my dog walked on the tiles and raised a few of the corners about 1/8-1/4 of an inch. I just used my power sander to ease of the corners and then used finer and finer grit until I was using wet polishing grit. It came out great. So there has got to be a real professional out there who can do the same thing….if I can do it.
What you need is an artisan. Not a GC. Anyone who works with stone has the grinding and polishing tools to do this.
