Calling all rock hounds- what is this stone?
Ok. I think I know what I have here but I am in no way an expert and would like some opinions from others that have more experience.
It is extremely hard and almost impossible to make a slurry but works very well and efficient as a finisher. As you can see it is a dark gray to light gray with some tan/brown mixed in. It seems to have layers when looked at from the edge. The only slurry I was able to get was with a DMT and it was light gray and smelled like mud and tasted like......umm never mind.
Ok. What's your thoughts on what this is?

Iam not shure if this is a special stone, however its the first stone of this kind beeing stamped extra fine and it doesnt look like a special Stone for me...
The identifiers of the pierres aiguiser Naturelle de Saurat are:
- A sanstone type you could see the grain with a 20mag Loupe
- quite Hard Stone, hard to lap also with a coarse DMT as with many Sandstones
- layering visible on the sides, sometimes a swirling appears like on some of the Dalmore Blue Stones
- slurry firstly milky and thin, hard to create...
- mud smell, which appears on many different stones
- in my opinion reaches 6 to max. 8k when lapped very fine, its possible to shave off
