Polishing rocks is about mechanical abrasive so borax use in polishing rocks is not related to chemistry. It is very basic, I use it to offset my very soft acidic water in my pool, I believe it functions as a buffer, but I can't recall this time of year.

Uh, yeah...rock polishing is a mechanical action. The borax is usually used in the final stage to burnish the rocks, giving them an extra shine.
