Brynestein fra Eidsborg

It says its quartz shale with feldspar and mica. Don't know how good it will be.
the Eidsborg hones I still think are quiet nice, I have a few pieces from that pile of rock in your picture which I picked up during a holyday. only I overlooked the fact that I don't have tools to turn them into hones, 1 piece is almost flat and 2 pieces broke when I put them in a fire trying to turn them into softer hones. (inspired by http://bosq.home.xs4all.nl/info%2020...ing_part_3.pdf page 81)

unfortunately I can not yet tell anything about how they actually hone...
