An interesting Rock from the Potomac River
Last year I went to the DC area. We went kayaking on the Potomac River. I'm always searching for slate as a honing stone (see what you guys have done to me!) and found this rock. I had to lap it and burnish it, but it was totally worth it. It's unbelievable how it puts an edge on a razor. Take a look at the pictures, you'll be surprised.
This is how the stone looked straight out of the river

Here are the sides. Notice the layering of the stone?

In closing, this stone really puts a smooth crisp edge on my razors. I just can't believe that it works this well.
Thanks for looking!
