New find
I have no idea what these are but I have encountered them before in New York. Got this new piece yesterday. A very generous 10"x1 5/8". I have not tested this piece yet but my other is around 10k on water and finer with oil. Doesn't seem to get saturated with oil either. Material shines as a prefinisher.

Just from the pictures seems to possibly be Thuringian. Can you post some pic's wet and with slurry? That might help. And also a real close picture. Regardless of what it is its a nice find.
-
The only thing I can say with certainty is they're not thuringians. I need to lap out a small issue still so I will show the slurry it gives off when I do.

You found that in the city? Is it hard or soft? What borough are you in? I work in Queens by Aqueduct race track. I'm sure you will get some better answers. :hmmm:

Just from a dealer I know. He only deals in truly old stuff. What limited comparative data I have indicates it may be an old UK material forgotten by history.

You need Doorsch to chime in. Interesting.

Yeah, Sebastian has what appears to be the same stuff but what it is remains a ?

Slate type? Could it be a welch slate? Yes Sebastian is the man. But others are great also. Its amazing the knowledge here.
