Lee, I know you can do better than this. So bad.

Here is my Hindostan (I think that's what it is)
It looks very similar, mine is very thirsty and cuts very fast with slurry and also is a fine finisher with oil

if your stone absorbs water or oil its not a hindostan. a hindostan is way to dense of a stone to let water or oil penetrate it

It's not like a Norton waterstone, but you can tell it's been wet and doesn't bead water, maybe Magog Canadian stone?

[bloodhoundman]

looks pretty cool whatever it is

[Vasilis]

That Canadian stone was the one I was also thinking about. It really looks like a hindostan but it's not.

The yellow/brown/orange Canada Oilstone is similar to a hindostan in most respects except place of origin. They are both novaculites, both extremely dense and both repel water.
