New stone to Id please
Hello again, I bought a lot of stones on ebay, and this one I can't find any references. Is a very hard stone, I lapped on DMT 325, with no results at all,is the hardest stone I saw to date.The color is greenish with redish like rust spots,and black spots. Is look like marble and feel like marble, is 4x2x1/2.No slurry at all, no matter what method I used.Any ideea what can be?

It looks like a Soft or Hard Arkansas stone, if you're looking for useful stones for honing razors it's best to pass on these. Black and Translucent Arkansas stones can be useful but perhaps not ideal.

It will work great on knives, especially if used with oil
