Thread: Haven't a clue?

I have lapped it with a 1200 grit diamond hone...slow. I then fined the surface with a Laport white Arkansas hone, this was also slow going. I then tried bringing a slurry up with a small 600 grit DMT, this produced the same slurry as the 1200 of a creamy white colour. It seems as hard a stone as my Coticule and responds in every way the same even the edges produced and the speed it achieves it. I did not think it a Coticule because of the thickness but I suppose it doesn't matter what it is as long as I am happy how it performs.

could you show a picture of the lapped stone? just corious to see how it turned out

I like the Coticule idea, but also perhaps a J-Nat?

I'll need to borrow a better camera to get a clear shot of the stone. Hope to post tomorrow.
Cheers for all the help guys

Not so sure this photo is any better but you can just make out the pattern on the stone.

From this picture I would expect it to be a coticule like the others suggested before.

All boxed up now for the duel function of razor hone and edge tool finisher.

Gorgeous work on the stand, Puf. The colors throw me. I'm prob. not the best opinion on identifying stones anyway. First photos looked like yellow/green thuri, middle ones had a more gray cast like some jnats. Last photos look much more yellow/gold. Together w/ your description of how hard it is, I'd suspect a jnat. There are guys here much more qualified opinions on it. I'd want to hear more from them.
