Thanks Martin, i agree, the same goes for mine
Could be one of the purpleish slate. I have seen them with green spots
Hi Neil, is there also a Yellow lake variety beeing dark grey/black with a kind of Oval Yellow/Golden dots ? Got this one last week....

Yes, there is, Doorsch. I have had a few, but not with any inclusions, although I think we can accept that all slates may/may not contain inclusions. The dark ones (look quite black when wet) are finer than the purple ones - at least the ones I have had are. I think they are composed of a slightly different type of slate, and therefore harder than usual.
They have a silky feel in use - if lapped well, and remind me of the Cambrock Silkstone a bit.
Regards,
Neil
HI Neil, thanks for the reply...yes agreed that there might be inclusions or not.....i just thought that there might have been some around with identical colouring in any kind of inclusion. And yes this one is a harder stone then most of the slate i own or owned, so this fits...
I own two Silkstones i will compare honing on these with this one....thanks Neil...
