I certainly don't wish to hijack Jimmy's thread but thanks for your interest and certainly, a pleasure.
The photo had been posted before but without a responce. 7-3/4" x 1-3/4" x 7/8" and I had attempted dressing and it with an India stone and it produced a bit of grey slurry. It is shown whetted to enhance the figure. I have a machinists honing plate and am planning on getting some diamond abrasives before trying to dress it again. I seldom use novaculite/Arkansas hone but do collect and treasure some. It would be a hoot to find it was Turkish but it's probably too hard,fine/glass like.
