I have a purple Welsh state from AJ that Doughboy mentions. I have polished mine up to 3k wet n dry and use Smiths honing solution. Works quite nicely.

For our SRP friends, the french name of this stone is "pélite rouge"
Pelite rouge.....!? Realy,never heard,thanks for the information.
The Yellow Lake (LLyn Melynllyn) stone comes from Wales, not France. However, there is a stone from France called Pierre Du Loraine Rouge. That could well be what this stone is.
thanks for this information.

There is a Belgian stone called La Lorraine. I understand that it comes from the same are as Coticules and BBW, but has a reddish color and has properties somewhere between the two more popular Belgian hones.
I believe the Pierre du Lorraine is a different stone coming from France. Sometimes the stone is called Rouge de Salm. Compare the stone pictured in this post to the one in this video.
