Thread: Razorlovestones Project / Magnification Shots of Stones

Bavarian Frankonian Bouts

Lets start with two of the stones which are actually my favorites. Hatzicho brought them up and he did a good job finding those interesting stones....

Working very fast with a slurry due a big amount of Quartz, Aluminiumoxide and a small amount of Iron Oxide. The stones are wonderful stones beeing used after the 1k when the Bevel was set. Fast darkening of the slurry and its a interesting feeling to see how fast metal is removed. The most interesting is that they can be used equally like a Coticule....

There are different types/qualities of the stones and actually they have a different look on the working surface and their backside....

I actually think that the reddish/brown spots are Iron Oxide (Fe2o3) Inclusions....
