Ok so probably a 8-10k slate. Oldengaerde has a Yellow Lake that sparkles a lot, he made a video of it. I don't know if he ever tested how fine it was.

It have definitely some sparkles but not a lot. They are all different and maybe my coticule that is not so fine. I will get some more soon anyway and more Yellow Lakes too with labels and will give a better test

It is hard to find YL with labels. I have one (from Salmensand even that bone does not say that bit is YL. I do have other YL even from Salmens an have to say that grit can quite vary.

A_S posted useful information in a Silkstone thread. There was also a stone advertised as CF at Ebay that looked similar to the Silkstone posted in that thread.
