    To me that looks like a massive form of Pulga Jade ie. Idocrase. It is visually a bit similar to Grossular Garnet, but not nearly hard enough. For a similar slurry Grossular Garnet would take about 60 - 100 lapps, using my 600 grit diamond plate.

    You may get a better (finer OR shallower) scratch pattern by raising your slurry with a finer diamond hone, if one is not handy just use as little pressure as possible.

    BTW what is the magnification in the bevel shots?

    Thanks for the review.
