    Most of them look synthetic. The only real interesting one for me is the upper right. Maybe the middle top. Even then, need closer pics to determine if they are naturals / identify any marks to help ID them. I'm sure other guys will chime in.

    Thanks they are being sold as oilstones and listed as most being "naturals" that is the only picture in the listing although I have asked for better pictures.

    They are all filthy and need cleaning. Without doing so there is no way of telling what they are; you might like a guess, but that's all it would be.

    The left and center second from the top & bottom right are Norton oilstones I'm pretty sure. I've got a couple very similar to them. Fine for knives...not for straights. I think the center bottom is a Washita stone as well.

    Thanks, the one in the upper right is the one that caught my eye as well as for the others I had no clue.
