    If you have ever seen a turkish oilstone they are a dark color. Similar to the stone OP posted. I haven't seen one with red figuring though.

    I wasn't trying to be redundant. I don't know how fine they are but I know they're hard. And I don't think they would be called Turkey or Turkish unless they had something in common back in the day.
