Is this a thuringian?
I picked this hone up a while back for $15 thinking it may be a thuringian. Its blue-grayish when dry and makes a grey slurry just like a smaller thuringian I have. Just started lapping it so it's not quite as slick as my other one. Also it has a greenish and brownish vein running thru it. Any ideas? Thanks in advance for any help.

Clearer pics would help, are you sure it is not man made? Give the dimensions might help the experts Identify it.

Photo the sides and ends, is it soft? What are you making the slurry with?

Sorry about the blurry pictures. Need a camera. Dimensions are 7 1/2 x 1 9/16 x 3/4.
Honestly, I'm not positive its not a man made stone. To me it just looked and felt like my thuringian so I took a chance on it. Even if it's not ill lap it flat and try it out.
Oh yea, I made the slurry with a fine diamond plate.

The dimensions are right, and the saw marks look right to me. Something looks off in the first pictures but I'm guessing that's just the lighting?
