    "arkansas" and "translucent" should get you started.

    I bought one not too long ago. Tried it once, not successful-but want to save final analysis until i've worked with it a few more times.

    I don't think it's a translucent. More like a Washita or Arkansas soft. Not a finisher, but it's a good stone.
