This stone is extremely hard a dmt 325 won't hardly touch it.
When I got it I looked like it was around a 200K, very porous.
It seems to be as hard as a Translucent, I was able to fatten it enough to get two large shiny spots on the face and they look like glass. This stone only liked a 1/32" of being flat.
It is formation rock or synthetic I believe. It is tan in color with just a tinge of a red shade especially where I polished it on the 325 dmt. In the pictures the red comes outlooks like BBW, but with the naked eye it looks tan almost like a Frictionite. Where I polished the stone It will polish metal, where it is still rough it cuts. I have never seen anything like it except the new translucent Arkansas I got that set a bevel until I was able to get it polished, took forever. Any help will be appreciated.
