    Default Grey hone tan slurry?

    I picked this hone up yesterday when my wife and I went antiquing it is a grey natural(?)water hone that produces a tan slurry. I have been trying to lap it to remove the imperfections. There were gouges on this side that weren't very deep but the other side looks like someone took a chainsaw to it. Anyone have any ideas as to what it may be?Name:  20140831_130847.jpg

    I forgot to mention that I created the slurry with a DMT D3C.

    How about some close up’s of the stone face wet and dry and some of the edges and sides?
    What does it smell like?
    What is the size?
    Is it soft or hard?

    From the pictures, and from chips on the side I would say is a kind of manmade stone. How hard is? Is smell oily?

    I will try to get some better pictures of it but I can't make any promises. It doesn't have a smell to it, it's hard because it is taking forever to lap it but once lapped it is smooth and it is definitely a water stone because it soaks H2o like crazy that is why I couldn't get any good pictures of it wet.

    So I'm not the only person guilty of the odd lick then. I'm pretty sure my wife has seen me do it as well... Just the tip of the tongue, It can tell you a lot.... erm, honest.. Runs and hides.

    As I said, I will try to get some better pictures posted but it is some what of a complicated process for me as I have to jump through a bunch of hoops just to post them. I seriously doubt that I will try the taste test, I will leave that up to the experts.
