peak 2008-50 is a microscope Depth Measuring Microscope Peak 2008(DMR) 25x to 100x Peak Optics, Magnifiers, Comparators, Loupes, For Inspection & Measuring, 2x to 300x

These two photos have been made through the microscope.

Easiest is have them in your hand. There is big difference to feel the edge of lapped hone. Washita feels more like serated knife comparing with hindostan.

My vote goes to washita

I really can't tell. I'm not sure about it being a Wasita stone.

Either washita or soft arkansas, sometimes hard to tell in the older stones. It isn't anything other than one of those two.

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

I'd like to see a closer shot of the surface of the one hone by itself. No slurry, and clean it if it hasn't been already. Hard to tell from the distance it was shot in the photos. IMHO.

Not a problem...
