Green Stone from UK, possibly a Llyn Idwal?
Dear SRP community,
today I've came accross a green stone, comming from UK.
The stone has been used with oil before.
Its surface looks quite coarse has also lots of black small dots but it's surface is very smooth to the touch (after lapping :))
Under DMT plate it creates quickly a fine white-greenisch slurry, the releasing speed i can compare to thuringian hones.
First very short honing on slurry shows it is working quite fine, I guess it can be a prefinisher, may be I can even finish on it...
Size: 23cm x 57mm x 17mm
Here are some pictures
