    As said photos of all side, including the ends may help. Looks like slate, possibly a Thuriegen.

    How does it finish, will it improve a 8k edge?
    The third pic is the bottom of the stone ,all 4 sides looked like that until I lapped the one side ,which is the first two pics
    I'm not sure on how it finishes I haven't taking up honing my razors yet ,but it definitely helped a cheap Henkel kitchen knife after a 1k super stone

    Thumbs up

    Ooooo, nice! That stone has high quality Thuringian writen all over it. Better yet, I'm seeing some dual coloring going on, blue/green to dark blue possibly??
    I bet it is a pretty fast cutter and improves on an 8k edge....

    Fantastic score!!

    if its to fast I wonder about the stone being a thurigian, its usually takes a lot of laps even after the 8k stone,, but hey I hope for ya,, also,, it doesn't seem to be the normal size for the thuris,,, good luck Tc by the way you can also pack up your hone and send it to some of the hone masters here to test it for you till you know what your doing, in the right hands they can let you know a lot about how to use and what you have Tc
