Beautiful but X
No way is that a TOS.
The way it cleaves and the amalgamated/mixed rather than uniform surface look to it gives it a lot of similarities to one of my X's:

I was told by someone that mine is a slate stone of some form or another. I thought mine was a marble of some kind, but it's much harder than a marble floor tile.

...what does TOS mean?
Second, it kindof has the coloring of a Charnley Forest stone...frankly.

:gaah:
yeah I meant Charnley Forest not TOS
silly silly me
whatever it is, it was hand cut
How does the surface feel? is it glass smooth, or does it have a fine grain feel on it?
Just for reference, here is a couple pics of my Tam O'Shanter... 6"X2"X1"
