rounded, prepolished and polished
bocciardata is thought to have to do with boccia which is spheric or round;
prepolished could possibly be interpreted as semi-polished or pre-ground; levigata means "schleifen" in German which translates to "grinding" in English but it could not possibly be "ground" as this is tantamount to crushing stone. Therefore I take it as meaning honing or polishing.
