Thread: Flee market stone 2

Stone #2 from the Box-O-Stuff.

It measures 2"X8"x 5/8 what do you think this one is?



Thanks
John

Here it is lapped and a shot of the slurry it produces.




Any Ideas???

I don't think I am amy help because I only recognize the stones i have.

Sometimes the camera doesn't show the true colour of the stones, what colour is it in reality because it seems to be 3 different colours in the photos and is it a natural?

The first photos are the true color completely dry before lapping.

The 2nd picture of the 2nd post was the true color dry after lapping and it is still that color now the edges and the side I didn't lap look like the photos in the first post.

the other is wet.

Yes it is a natural stone.

It could be a thuri. A light green if the color i see is right.

It does look like a Thurigan. Lt green or blue, perhaps, but I'm not seeing the typical saw marks, seen on Thurigan, and Escher's. Still some kind of slate. Put a razor to it, see what its capable of. May make a great mid range hone, in a natural progression, or a possible finisher.

At worst, it sits on a kitchen window sill, keeping maintenance on your kitchen knives.
