You are worse than me with your acquisitions!

I believe what you have there is a Schwedenstein from Germany. Some of the guys at the Razorcon in London earlier this year saw one which I have. Oldengarde taught me about them.

They have a variegated structure which is why you will never find a thick example, but only ever a thin slice like you have. It should give off a slurry with a brown tint. It should be relatively fine, like a Thurry in finish.

If I recall, you already have one of these!

Thank you for your quick response. I have one but is very diferent stone.That one is more uniform one with no incusions, just grey color.
This one is like you can see , green, with some red ot pink. This is look more like a CF but is way softer. So this stone need to be used with water? With slurry or just like a thuringian , for finishing?HAD seson is here.

If the slurry has a brown/yellow tint to it, then Im 100% sure it is a Schwedenstein.

Examples can look quite different. I have seen streaked ones, blotched ones, and also more plain ones like the one you had first.

I use mine with water, though you could use lather. I wouldn't put oil on it.

I guess this stone proves had never ever goes away... So where does one go about finding one of these?

Ohhhhhhhh, Sham, where are youuuu! LOL

nice stone, whatever it is! ;-)
