Thread: Can anyone name this stone?

I posted about this before, didn't get any sold info, as slates are everywhere. I snapped some new photos. The big thing that I think would be a good identifier is the little holes throughout it. I've looked into the holes and can see cream colored material. Measurements are 6 6/8 X 2 6/8 X 1/2. It finishes better than any of my other stones.

Any help would be appreciated.


Enjoy the day,

mhm.. La Lune, perhaps.

Raise a nice bit of slurry on the stone and post a picture. Post if its easy to raise a slurry or hard. It could be a LaLune.

I shall call him George and George shall be his name.
Sorry couldn't resist. Had a similar looking slate no holes though that performed as good as a thuri and after talking with the experts got unknown slate.

Very interesting saw marks. i'll be curious to see if anyone can ID this one. that person is not me though

I name it Jeffery 😂

How about "Hard Rock" or "Rock of Ages"?

Does it have a metallic shining ? Are those black spots more like holes or are they kind of inclusions?

Special Stone / La Lune if it would be one of the blue metallic ones would show pock narbs or holes....

Another Idea could be a Thuringian, check the inclusions on this one here:

I thank you guys. La Lune it is. It has the metallic flecks, and they are definitely holes.
