Looks like a curb stone from #920?
I suppose flatten the good side and see what it and the slurry look like? Give it a try?
What type of stone should I use to create slurry?
A very hard Arkansas or a diamond plate hone (the credit card size works fine)
It looks like slate to me. I would say flatten about half of it with a DMT and that, in itself, should create a pile of slurry. If you still think it is slate, you might try a thurri slurry stone to give it a try? If you like it, I suppose you could do the whole thing.
It's huge!
Looks like a slate....is it a Purple one ? Is that round blotch in green color ? Please create some wet daylight shots and some daylight slurry pics...
My guess is that you might have picked up some purple welsh slate which was also used for Roofing Slate and yes also for Housenumbers, i will later add the link to this thread...
