    I was about 3 seconds from "buy", but I choked on the listing when I saw the shipping is $30.

    Not that I have any need for one, my stone cabinet seems to be abloom.

    But who can resist trying out new stuff. I can't say I have any stones that make a purple slurry.

    Love the name of that stone! Any chance of a pic? Is it really purple?

    I made a hone from purple slate quarried in Newfoundland, It also had purple slurry. I also find it an amazing finisher, better edge then i get from my coti with lather. Ok not sharper but softer.

    Being purple and slate it probably has a similar make up and similar properties.
