Thread: JNAT Triboluminance:or Pizzaelectric Effect

As I am honing a batch of razors today, I often get into a contemplative/zen sort of mood (the kind where you just want to put some Chet Baker or Miles Davis on the blue-tooth and drag out every hone you've got lol!). In that vibe with my Chosera green brick over the sink, it just occurred to me that I have observed the same effect on my Zulu Grey, whose composition reminds me somewhat of a Jnat. After all, aren't both of a similar geological origin in that they are both sedimentary rocks created under enormous pressure on ancient sea-beds? In fact, my Zulu has the imprint of a fossilized piece of seaweed.

More food for thought. Now back to the sink.

edit: Okay, while finishing an edge at the sink it just occurred to me that I used to get the same effect on my PHIG, also a sedimentary rock (which I haven't used in awhile, though it's a very fine one that gives up awesome smooth edges). Time to get it out again and confirm.
