There is a difference in Hard Arkansas stones and true hard ones such as the translucent or surgical black.
A progression would be like this:
Soft Ark
Hard Ark
Surgical black or Translucent.

Wow , nice looking rocks, I sure do love a Norton stone. Is that a washita from 2006 when they did a new run? All the washita stones I have seen are smoke stained yellow to lily white.

Thanked: 246I think the modern run came in blue and white boxes. I have a couple old NOS Lily White Washitas that are pretty close to pure white, they're just not super common because the stones were so good that they mostly all got used and yellowed from oil.

I have one like that. Produces a cool purple slurry similar to my BBW.
