    Default Unknown Spotted Pre-polisher

    Checking the local Hospice store today yielded this spotted pre-polisher. About 1.5" x 5", with a rough back and odd pinkish circular discoloration. The color is on both sides so likely natural to the stone. The pink color is easier to see in the photos with flash. If I had to guess at the grit equivalency is around 6k-7k. I tried a fast test shave, it was not good. But it is nice to have a medium-high grit natural.

    As purchased

    If you can shed light on its nature please chime in.

    perhaps a Tam-O-Shanter from Scotland. A good score

    Good memory RezDog. It is a match for the TOS in the Library's Scottish hones page. Name: 500px-IMG_0241.JPG Views: 174 Size: 36.2 KB
