ATTN Hone Guru's--Mystery Hone
I just picked this up this afternoon, it's greenish with dark stripes, 7"x1 1/2" x 1/2" and harder than a Thuringian and softer than an Ark and seems very fine.

It's a RiverPhig, very common in the creeks around Minnesota.
Rates around 12K.

After doing some investigating I think it might be a Charnley Forest but I've never actually seen one. What do you guys think?

Well a lot of Charnley hones have red on them, not all of them though. There is also the yellow lake and the other one I can't spell lynidawyl or similar. They are all commonly green and the last two have no red typically. I'm not an expert.

Green river rock with green river algae....maybe there's some Escargot inside?
I hear they're nice with butter and garlic.....

I don't believe this to be a CF. If I hadn't seen the pictures and only saw your description, that would be my first guess. but my CFs are a much "duller" green than that. and like RezDog said, many of them have red/brown streaks or blots through them. Not a requirement by any means though. Mine are both about x4 as thick as this one (+2" thick), which is pretty typical from most CF's I've seen, they tend to be a bit chunkier.
