    Never seen a Charnley with this pattern, seen a boat load in person, online, and countless picture of the actual quarry.
    Would be interesting to see side and bottom pictures of this stone.

    Thanks Martin. Got one from each angle, both wet and dry...and in the sun - oh the sun (not seen it i quite a while). Hopefully one of them helps, otherwise more than happy to plus up with whatever you think would be better

    I don't think it is a charnley forest just based on the dimensions and how thin the hone is. Not that it can't be, but most are hand cut rough and rounded on the bottom. Even my labled one which was cut using more modern tools is much thicker and has rough spots on the sides and bottom.

    Thanks mate.

    Yeah I lapped both top and bottom - didn't know which was which so. During that process I took off about a third of the thickness - measured about 11 x 3.5 x 1.5 cms - as it was dished and gouged.

    The smaller stone look like the stones that Hazitcho meister describe here
