    If you're wondering about grit and micron sizes, here is a useful little file that was floating around a while back.

    It is a useful comparison of grit size to micron size and shows where a lot of the stones sit in comparison to each other. Do bear in mind that the grit sizes given for the natural stones are approximate.

    To answer your specific question, chromium oxide is about the same grit as a 30k Shapton stone. So its a very fine final polish, or a very light touch up. ShavedZombie gave great advice on how to use it.

    Good luck!
