Thread: hhhmmmm what is it ..lol

ok so on a last second impulse buy i saw this hone on the bay .. from my shattered phone screen and color it seemed to be through my screen , i hoped it was a coticule layer that cae out of a box .. well it arrived today and its not a coti !!

i had carpal tunnel surgery 2 days ago so i cant hone on it but i did do some circles and a few half strokes just to see how it felt , seems kinda in middle as far as hardness , is Super Smooth like glass after lapping , feels really fine , no self slurry after the circles /strokes , if so it was faint , razor felt completely suctioncupped to hone during strokes , slurry was made easy on a DMT Fine credit card size and i almost got it stuck onthe hone , size is 7"x2 1/2"x1/2" and slurry is pure green and defiantly has that pure earthy smell like my thuri ..

Nice hone, do you think it's natural or synthetic? (If it slurrys, it would be a natural, yes?) Sorry, new guy question..

OMG that is a Wingomstein. Highly toxic, just don't get any on your finger. Better send it to me to be hermetically sealed :<0)

Hones are like babies Gooser,, they're all beautiful,,,,

I'm waiting for gooser to give you the finger...

Could be an Hindostan... does it have layering on the sides and ends?

sides and ends are pretty dirty yet , i need to lap more , but it did appear there may be some layering of a light brown , or darker then the rest ... tooo the sink i go ..lol

ok more lapping and playimg ... 60 circles both sides of razor on water a slight darken of self slurry ..
i noticed if i spray with water and tilt the stone , the drips stay darker after i coat whole stone with water leaving almost a stain till the spray catches up with the stain (look) leaving me to think the stone has some absorption or is a bit porous although not visible to the eye ..
here are some pics under slight 6x magnification , prob is a hindostan(gonna read more into them ) but it will be some time b4 i get to play with it .. also while lapping i can feel a layer with my nail at one end that is getting smaller with the laps , not a real distinct variation of layering on the sides or end ..
