Thread: Translucent Ark?

There IS a difference between a "Hard" ark, and a TRUE HARD ark. Myself, I go with the tried and true traditional density readings. If its less than a density of 2.5 its not a true hard, its just 'hard" My densest hard is a black, and next in line would be a small translucent like yours. (very pretty stone by the way)

I AM concerned with the use of a knife on your razor stone. Take a good look and make sure that you have not "dulled" your burnished finish. When it comes to my Arks, I have knife arks, and razor arks, and try not to mix them.
There are 2 really bad things about Ark stones... 1) if you need to lap it, its a PITA and 2 ) They are a prime cause of HAD!
