Polished Andesite has a clean medium-grey surface, popular in modern builds as a brushed-concrete substitute.

Description
Polished Andesite is the refined cousin of raw andesite. Four blocks of andesite arranged in a 2×2 crafting grid produce four polished blocks at a one-to-one rate, and a stonecutter offers the same conversion in single-block increments for cleaner workflow. The polished surface drops the dark speckles in favour of a uniform medium-grey wash, the closest natural stone tone to brushed concrete in vanilla Minecraft.
The block matches its raw counterpart in hardness, blast resistance, and tool requirements — a wooden pickaxe minimum, drops itself directly without Silk Touch. At a stonecutter, polished blocks convert to slabs, stairs, and walls, giving a complete decorative kit. Modern builders use Polished Andesite extensively as floors and façades, often paired with iron blocks for industrial accents, with bone block for clean panel lines, or with stripped spruce for warm cabin contrasts.
