Just picked this up on the bay because I thought it may be a LI as I do not have one anymore, but after cleaning it up I am not sure what it is. Could still be?

Funny my guess is a Thuri, the sawmarks really look like thuris sometimes show...
I was thinking it looks like a slate and kind of soft, although soft can't be captured on film so I have no idea why that sticks in my mind. I think the LI hones are fairly hard. So how hard is it?
I cleaned it up by using just water and a little dish liquid and a dmt stone. It Definately does not seem like a thuri to me except the cut marks. It is soft like you say. I can use the dmt on thuri and takes a lot to do what I did in this stone in seconds. In fact I think I could get rid of the saw marks in minutes. Before it was cleaned it did look like a LI and had lots of swirls but they came out
The crazy thing is that the pattern would either be untypical/rare for a Thuri, in the second step also for a LI
Looks like green thuri to me . Slurry , laping please
Just spit ballin here, maybe a Dalmore? They will have a somewhat gritty texture when passing a blade over it. Congratulations, thanks for sharing.
