Thuringian like stone Pic heavy

[RusenBG]

Now i whant to present a stone that i colected fron a mountain peac , here in Bulgaria .
It is a some kind of mud slate - very fine and silica rich It is a soft stone , but it reminds m of a blue thury and the edges it gave are exeptional This stone is a full size and i love it a lot - practicaly i gave all my thuringians , as this piece gave the exact same edge as them , but is big size
It is inresting that the Old Mountain , where i colected the stone from peak layered deposits , is a part of a very old mountain chain that begans here in Bulgaria and runs throu EU and is the same mountain chain where the thuryes are mined
Im not sayng that this is thury as they are in Thuringia Im very happy that i found this stone as it is almost the same material and im very proud that , there are reminiscent deposits in our mountains , that are from the same period or maybe the same type of material as the most famous razor hones
Everything hapened 3 years ago when we make a stop to drink a montain water and to see the view from the montain that devide Bulgaria on 2 parts
I saw the hole side of the peak was covered in layered slate piecess and i gust got 1 big and 2 -3 smaller for evaluation
It came hight quality stone and i swea that if i didnt know it is a local stone , ill be shure it is a thury
But it isnt
Here are some pics on this intresting stone It is filled with ultra fine silica particles as some blue thuris have , in them
It have some wellowish layers that are veru fine and they are softer than the blue layers
Stone is ultra smooth and work very fast on slurry
The slurry breaks doun to finer and finer It gave very smoothe , close and comfortable shave , even on some hard steel razors that are hard to hone as russian steels .
The random piece i get gave a gray - pinkish slurry and is very raminisscent of the Swedenstein slurry on the original Swedenstein stones that i have .
The Wellowish side or the material from the wellow spots is a very ultra fine and it is a bit softer than the blue layer The wellowish layer make fantastic job on finishing .
I whanted to share this , as here there arent other razor enthusiasts and people that enjoy very fine razor hones
