hi guys,
i found this stone few weeks earlier. i thought it was a "la lune" but when i looked to other side there is some brown spot. i don't think it is saturat because nothing shiny on the stone.
would you have any idea what it can be and it's grit approximately?

thanks by advance for any help. for supplement information, it smells oils.
Really hard to tell from the pics ,give it a lap and clean up and it should make it easier also do you think it's a natural stone or man made? I have a guess at a tamO'shanter or scotch hone.
looks a lot like the Welch slate i had. only way to tell the grit is to lap and possibly burnish it.
Can you add some daylight shots ?
yep i will do it tonight, i'll to take some pics after slurry stone tooQuote:

Sadly we may still not be able to tell you what it is but she will be ready to use . Cheers.
thanks thebigG i will try to work on it this weekend (i hope at least, at this time i'm really lazy to work on). and i going to put some cleaner pictures.
i thought it was a la lune but not so sure.
May I ask why you thought it may have been a La Lune - is it from France? If so, it may be a Pyrenees stone, a coarser stone to use after a 1k, between 2-6k. Here is an example https://razorlovestones.wordpress.co...-des-pyrenees/
because i'm from ... :angel::angel::angel:Quote:

in the link you sent the hone is "cutted" with a shape like " / ". mine does not have that. i have a saturat, but this one does not look as a saturat. that's why i removed the saturat option. also i'm pretty sure it's not pyrennes, when i bought it i showed it to a friend, he told me it was for final polishing.
just the thing is; i know i had a least one la lune, and i was sure this second was a la lune too. but unfortunately i don't remember if the second la lune was this one or an other hone i have. i need to check them all, and i'm just so lazy with the end of summer (la vie est dure :D )...
Again to add my thinking here you can rule out a La Lune in the Terms we talk about the Purple Or blue metallic Razor hones, because they have a proper identification...
FGBC also sold a variety of stones under their La Lune Trademark, so it sure could be that you have seen an identical stone like yours with the La Lune Trademark.
If you could add a daylight picture iam sure it would be easier to get an ID.
Apart from the grease on the surface, it does sort of look like something from Saurat to me...
Below are some stones I have in the order they appear, left to right: Grey La Lune (as opposed to purple), Special Stone and Pyrenees. Please also see their reverse sides appearing respectively bottom to top in the second picture.
The third picture is a section of the Pyrenees and you will note it sides are different shades, with a bisecting orange line.
IMHO your stone looks very much like my Pyrenees, also in a similar shape and thickness. Perhaps they were mined this way. The Special Stone and La Lune have a bluer tone.

Pierre aiguiser a Menuiser genre Levant, origin is Pierre Naturelle de Saurat....

Iam quite sure its one of those....actually the stones were historically sold from FGBC and also before Mr. Soucille took over the Business
