Turkish oil stones come in a range of colors and grits. Do not drop on a hard surface or they will shatter. You may want to seal that fissure. They are great natural stones that should find a place in a honing progression. They are fun to test.

Actually, they are white. the darker parts of the stones is really light blue. If someone submerge them in oil, then they become black and stay this way forever. Supposedly, the darker the color, the coarser the stone, but it's not always true.
