    Default Mystery coffin stone - brown

    I am sure it is one of those antique oil stones. Extremely fine, relatively hard, came in typical coffin. But what is it? Color is 99% correct.

    I didn't include picture of coffin here. Nothing much to look at. It is oily and dirty.

    I've had 2 hard fine brown stones that looked similar but I never found out what they really were.
