Thread: I Found It Over There

Finding stones is not difficult at all. Really. Silicon oxide is the most common substance on earth's crust, and what makes stones cut.
For me, I have found many stones, and I'm talking about quality stones, not something that reminds me a hone. Nothing in huge quantities, but enough for me, stones from bevel set to finish.
But, lapping them is much more difficult than finding them.
Also, slate is an abundant geologic formation, and most of them are suitable for razors. If it looks like a slate, you could have found something good. Don't search for fancy stones with purple dots with white swirls in a turquoise colored matrix. Fancy stones are by far the most common I see on threads about stones they found. Dull colored are just as good, probably better.
For all I know, sidewalks on South Africa could be nicely decorated on Zulu grey flagstones.
