Default Scratched Granite

Hello,

I made the rookie granite owner mistake of using a green scrub pad on
the brand new granite tiles I used for my countertop.

A couple of questions,

Should the common green scrub pad (the ones one would use to scrub pots
and pans) have scratched the granite tile? Is there a chance that
these granite tiles are cheap. I purchased them from the "Tile Shop"
which claims they are 100% onyx granite.

Aside from busting the tile out, can the scratches be "buffed" out
using diamond pads and a air grinder?

Are there any secrets to hiding scratches using polish or something
similar?

Any assistance is much appreciated !!

Thanks,
