    Question Ivory Speckled Hone ID?

    Name: image.jpg Views: 447 Size: 62.8 KB Found this gone (left) along with some razors but not sure what it is. Wondered if any of you guys might be familiar with it. It is hard and took a while to lap. It's slurry is milky white and dries white like chalk. It's about an inch and three eighths by six and three quarter inches. I put it alongside my Thuri and a Swaty for reference. Any ideas?

    Thanks!

    Peace,
    Jim

    Looks like a washita..
    Did you get slurry from it by using a diamond plate?

    IF the side view is layers, it would probably be a Hindustan.

    Yeah, the Slurry is off the DMT. I didn't scrub the side to see if it was layered. I've never heard of a Hindustan, but I will check it out. Thanks for the replies fellas.

    Peace,
    Jim

    I would add another vote for Washita.

    Under the peak 2008-50 the difference is clear enough:

    Those are interesting images. I ran the DMT along the side and there are no layers. Is the consensus washita in that case?
