Thread: Green Stone ID

I have a stone, purchased from E-Bay quite a long time ago, that is marked Green Cambrian on the back side with marker. It’s light green with abundant black spots. A hard stone, it doesn’t slurry without a lot of work and is very thin.
I’ve been trying to research Green Cambrian hones and not coming up with much at all. What I do find, doesn’t look much like my stone. Any thoughts on what this stone could be?

Could not get the 3rd pic to rotate. Last pic is the stone with water on it,

Cambian itself stand for a geological rock period ( 541-485 million years ago). The stone looks like a Lynn Idwall hone, which would fit to the cambrian age.
The interesting thing is that we discussed an identical looking stone just a few month ago in a german kitchen knife and cooking forum. When I saw the photo there I was also convinced that it is a LI stone. Anyhow, when I got it for testing, the behavior was different to the LI hones I have. It is finer and a bit slow compared to others and the honing feeling is different.
However I still think it is a sort of LI.
Here is a photo of the stone:

Peter,
Thank you. I was leaning towards LI but only have personal experience with this stone.
How would you describe the feeling of the one you tested? Mine feels like a heavy draw on a strop, much more of a grabby drag feeling than almost all of my other natural stones.

I would second that LI.
