Need help Identifying stones!!!!
I am not familiar with these stones. I wondering if I could get some help. I am curious about the Minellein stone (stone 2) and its age. I have a few more photos. Maybe someone could tell me the ages, quailty, and brand on these stones. Thanks

The Two tone stone has something on the side. Norton (Indian Combination Oilstone IB8) 8"x2"x15/16" not worn at all, but a few little chips on a couple of edges. Are these any good?
The first stone....Eleblu05. What is a dark ark? is the stone slate or what?ScottGoodman likes this.
