Hone identifying...need help. :-)

This is a stone, i picked up this morning out of the U.K., though i'll not be getting it in hand for about a week.
I have some suspicions, but could use some HAD's help in identifying or confirming what this is.

Dimensions: 11" x 2" x 2".

Many thanks,

Mac

Looks like an Arkansas to me

On the bottom left photo it appears as though there are little "leaflets" stacked one on top of the other - on the side of the stone. Is this in fact it? or is this just an optical effect created in the photo and represents lapping or saw marks?

If they are in fact little leafs - it's not an Arkansas.

Well...with the help of a couple friends, my suspicions point towards the possibility of a turkish oilstone...but of course, i wont know, until i have it in my hot big hands. :-)

I knew your hands were big, but I was unaware that they are also hot.

A Turkish would be a fun new addition for you to play with. Here's hoping!

Sham has had a couple of Turkish stones and if he happens upon this thread he might be able to tell you if it looks anything like what he had.

The turkish oilstone is novaculite like the arkansas and charnley forest.

Thanks Sham,
This is a Scottish stone? Do you happen to know what it is called?

Thanks,

Mac
