    No, the BBW's slurry would be violet / red, and this one's pure grey.

    I just used the diamond stone on a BBW before lapping this one, so there is maybe a little touch of red on the picture's slurry, but it's definitely not a BBW.

    I don't think of it as a french slate (the color would be more like a Dragon Tongue's). Maybe a thin Thuringe ?

    The thin stones I was thinking about were Sweden's by the way, but I can't find back the picture I saw that reminded me this one.

    Hi Thaeris,

    I am not really sure if this is a Norway ragstone. The ragstones do have very small black dots, normally only visible when wet (Last picture). Maybe a view of the hone sides could help to identify.
    Here are some pictures of my ragstones:

    There is indeed black spots, and when the hone is dry they're not easily visible.

    Only got this picture of the side (encountering issues with my camera right now) :



    This is the finest stone I've ever met. It's only 0,12 inches thick

    A french member of our forum said it could be a "La Lune".

    I'd say the grit is around 6000 for this one.
