Matt;

Attached are some pics of one of my big turks, During lapping and with some oil. The little flecks of white are indicative of novaculite. This is a finishing stone.

Yes, I'm surprised how fast it is but I do need to really spend some time with it to see what it can do. What I did notice is that it doesn't create much of a scratch pattern with pronounced striations, it's more of a hazy "sandblasted" type of finish.

Mike,

Thanks for the picture! I think there is a good chance that it's the same type of stone as yours. It has those little white flecks and an overall similar appearance. Much appreciated!

modine what grit range do you think your turk is in thanks

Looks like a piece of petrified wood. It would be hard and also could have quartz or similar crystal properties. I've even seen opalized wood.
