Thread: "Portanigra" What kind of hone is this?

I have found a hone at my fathers place wich I can't find any information about on the internet.
The box says: "Portanigra" all the info I'm getting is about a monument in Germany - Trier.
I have flattened the stone becouse it had a lot of deep scratches from shizzles, and it is very smooth, it feels a lot smoother than my Taidea 8k chinese hone, and if I put a razor on it with no slurry it doesn't even feel abrasive.
Could it be a good step after my 8k Taidea, maybe a nice finisher? Really curious!
Here are some pictures of it:
(EDIT: the vague letters on the box are saying "Portanigra" )

Could be some branded thuringian stone for fine tools and ect. What is the size of that stone
Could be some french hone also rebranded .

The dimensions are:
195(aprox)*45*20mm

So if it could be a thuringian, I can put a razor on it safely?

If it's a thuringian it will make a amazing razor hone. Post a picture with a slurry and that should give some more insight on what it might be!

Also do you have a picture of it before it was lapped?? If so can you post that too

I have no picture before lapping, but I have taken one from the backside.
I have tried to hone on it and I must say it really polishes the edge.
