Default Polishing granite edges

Been in Wickes, and they are selling off tiles. They have 400x400mm bluey
grey granite at £4 each. This gave me an idea; might make a cheeseboard by
sticking four rubber feet on the underside, or cut 100mm strips to line a
bathroom ledge. Fine, but the edges are cleanly cut, quite sharp, and
unpolished.

I'm sure there must be an easy way to polish these edges, it doesn't need
the precision of the tile surface. Maybe some king of disk in the angle
grinder, a diamond stone used like a rasp, or rubbing compound and the
orbital sander?

Any ideas, or is this a waste of time?
