Did those come from Peter - or are they old school? Guessing by your description they are from the wild. Lucky dog!
I have a hone that is completely black and extremely hard. It was sold to me as a Frankonian but your photos make me think that it is not. Doorsch, have you ever seen a Frankonian like this?
You talk about a very fine slate type of stone which was sold years back from Olivia Seife, these were never prooved by their geologocal origin but sold as "Frankonians"....
The ones shown here are "real" Bavarian Frankonians under a geological Term which means the quarry actually still exists today in this region, but its hard to come over bigger sized stones, because you mainly find open waste material lying around....
The Frankonian and the Brown Frankonian ist still listed on Olivias Page for comparison shots:
