Thanks Amy,
Part of the difference in colors comes from diferent lighting, but the color Did change a bit after I waxed him with a buffing wheel impregnated with bees wax. I sanded him and then used rubber abrasive burs to smooth out all the roughness, or as much as I could. When I applied the wax the first time I put it on very heavy, and then heated the stone lightly with a flame so the wax would hopefully soak into the pores, then I buffed him with a clean cotton wheel.
