Polished tuff is a polished variant of the tuff block. Polished tuff's appearance matches to that of other polished rock materials, having two lighter edges and two darker edges on each face to mimic the appearance of a singular large and smoother stone.

Obtaining

Breaking

Polished tuff drops as an item if mined by any pickaxe. If mined without a pickaxe, it drops nothing.
