    Thuringian is slate, thus more analogous to Welsh or Vermont slates than Arkansas stones.

    Thuringian waterwhetstones are slate stones or more precisely mud slate. These slates
    consist of quartz – which is the abrasive material, clay, mica (glimmer) and chlorite.
    The soft waterwhetstones were found in upper-Devonian age deposits.
