    Perhaps if you describe the stone, with dimensions, color, slurry and if hard or soft and some better photos of all sides especially of the ends and sides.

    Clean with some degreaser, make a slurry and photograph dry and wet with slurry.
    Sometimes, the box may be a clue.

    the stone is 8x2.1\4x1.3\8 slurry is tan, it was easy to lap, and it hones as good as my Norton 8000. I've read that a simple green solution is safe to de grease, is that so?

    I too agree Hindostand-ish, is it gritty with a blade on it?

    I bought a Hindostand that was black with oil and heavily dished like yours.

    Soaked in Simple Green for 6 months, before it stopped releasing oil.

    A great knife stone.

    Whatever it is, does look like a Hindostan, someone got their moneys worth out of it.

    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

Size:  126.5 KB I got most the stains out lapped it, and used it to finished this Greaves I found in the same shop. It gave a great shave so whatever it is, it was worth the $14 gamble for my first natural stone. (and its still over an inch thick)
