I know natural stones all vary, but which side did you find was the lower grit?

Thanks for the clarification.

You have found a wonderful finishing stone. Use it after your edge has been set to the maximum sharpness to get the best results from this hone.

I have an Escher that is different from one side to the other. I soaked the label off, preserving it, but allowing me to hone on each side. That is one of the really cool things about having a stone like that. On mine , in testing both sides, I've found that even though they are a different color, they are both good. Enjoy your stone, it is a beauty.

The lighter side is finer.

Very nice stone you found. You won't need a diamond hone to lap it, Thuringians are relatively soft, waterproof sanding paper of various grit will do.

Thanks for the input. I have a piece of glass that will work great with wet/dry sand paper.

Thanks for info. I'm still a newbie when it comes to straights and this is my first hone.
