You can use a Rock Tumbler to help with that. Be prepared it's rather noisy when it's in operation.

A can of spray polyurethane. I took found rocks and got out my acrylic white paint. Once the rock was dry, I used alcohol ink to have a little fun. I just used the spray poly to set the ink and give an ever lasting shine. So, I bet it would work in unpainted rocks as well. a bottle of clear fingernail polish can be more than a can of poly.

Roberta said it ,I was going to say if you don't have many to do use clear or clear glitter nail polish.

I've used clear acrylic sealer in a gloss finish. Great results. Really brings out the beauty of the rocks (wet the rock to see the same outcome; dry completely before using spray). I bought the can at Michael's.

You could try a dab of petroleum jelly or baby oil and rub it on with your finger tips. A little bit should work to give the stones a sheen

I have sprayed hundreds and hundreds of rocks with spray gloss from Krylon or any good paint.

I spray too, Krylon is my Fav but I went to the Auto Store and bought a can of laccer and I will try that soon. Spray is only as good as the amount of weather they are exposed to. If you put the rocks outside be prepared to respray sometime.
