help identifying this stone... please
i bought this stone.... really know nothing about it other than it is ~5-7k grit....
when dry it is gray in color.... turns dark gray when wet..... the slurry is light grey in color....
it was a bit$h to lap..... i mean harder than chinese algebra......
here are a few photos.... for some reason there appears to be a stain on it.... which i think is where my wife touched it with wet hands before snapping the dry photo....
if needed i can provide better photos....
the stone cuts fairly quickly but seems to be very very smooth....

Pics with slurry? This can help a great deal. As can info from the country you purchased it from - again not conclusive, but useful.
You say it was hard to lap. Was it hard per se, or did you find it difficult because of dishing? If you found it hard as a stone, what stones would you say it was harder than?
I must say the colour alone looks like a YG Thurry. You observations so far rule it out.

i am not sure of the country of origin.... it was hard to lap because the stone itself is hard.... *(harder to lap than my c12k) but with a coarser grit....
the slurry is actually a lighter gray than the stone....
when honing on it i don't get slurry but i do get swarf pretty quickly....
it came with a paper box cover that i ain't sure was original to the stone.... very hard to read... it said "india oil"....
i use it with water...Scipio likes this.

The size is pretty standard for man-made hones.
BTW the wrapper probably said India Oilstone - a man-made stone for tools.
