Could be a black slate stone however, did you say it produces black slurry? Never seen this on a (water) hone before.
Since the company that sold the hone is from Solingen, it is most likely a razor company. They often sold hones from thuringia and other proveniances under their name too.

I wrote wrong, the slurry is kind of with, I will sen a pic I thought It could be Escher, by the way I honed a John Holler with it got some nice egg, and I shave with, one of the best shaving I got, now I don't know it's the razor or the hone, because both , the hone and the razor were new for me, any way thanks for your interest, everybody

That is slurry
The size is about
95mm x 32mm x 10 mm

Here is a black stone that had an Escher, “Dark Blue” end label (blue).

Based on the slurry and the original photo probably a slate, maybe a Thüringen.

Hard black stones like Arks will slurry white.

Some “special stones” were grey or dark grey.

Could fit to some smaller thuringian Stones Sizes beiing around 10x3x1...looks like thuri slurry but i would prefer daylight shots and clear shots to be more correct then just guessing...

With that size it could be a thuri pretty easily. I didn't realize it was so small.
