Please help identifying a hone
Hello everyone,
I am unsure about two stones and would like to get information or identification
I bought one of them from USA and the other from GB ebay.
One of the seller believes that these are a variation of the Welsh Green Idwal Slate, and that they are softer and finer than the usual Idwal.
What do you think?
Could it be a Llyn Idwal variation???

Yes I think that they are a sort of Llyn Idwal, and perhaps they are a bit softer of the others but remain an hard stone.

Could well both be LI variants, but definitely not DBs.

They remind me hones which were sold as Chinese slate by one of the Polish hone dealers more than LI.
