Thread: Has Anyone Ever Honed With a Lydian Stone?

So here is the one I just ordered.

What did she cost you? Got a link to seller? Need to hear your impressions man, come on!! Lol

Lol I will get the link when I get back. I think $35. 6x3. Black hard as hell. I started lapping it. Damn it's hard I think I will keep one side the way it is

Interesting, great price. I wonder if this is actually Lydian or Lydite. The other site that sells them for a lot sells a slate stone also that looks just like that one but is much cheaper. I'm very keen to hear your results.

They did have cheaper ones but smaller. There was another name for the Lydian stone can't remember right now

Kahani was the name

Right, what I meant was at that price maybe it's not an actual Lydite stone, but instead a shale stone.

Not sure google is not helpful searching lydian stone. Looking for images. This stone is very black. More so than my black ark.

Interesting thread. So how is it different from a hard black/translucent Arkansas that it appears to resemble from the description?
