Honing means in the true sense of the word to sharpen. When related to natural stone to hone means to sharpen the image of the stone by honing off a micron of the stone either using a diamond or chemical method. So in other words if you had some etching on the surface of natural stone by shaving a few microns of the stone off we hope to get rid of the etching by hiding it (if its not too deep). It is a little more complicated than that but thats basically it. A good analogy is imagine when you were a kid and pulling off a layer of rough skin when you were in the bath you have virgin skin underneath  Kev | ||||||||||

As kev say's basicly just the smoothing process of stone tiles etc etc.... This might help as well Honed or Polished?  The images give a representation of the difference between a honed finish and a polished finish. The stone is identical, it's just the finish that differs. The stone on the left hand side has been honed, this means it is ground flat by a mechanical process and left with a matt/satin finish - if it were paint it would be described as eggshell. The stone on the right has been honed and then polished, it is machined for a longer period of time using finer abrasives until the surface is highly shiney and reflective. - if it were a paint it would be described as high gloss. | ||
