This morning I managed to take closer photos( used 20x magnifying glass)
Yellow one seems to to have rough surface, but it's not. I made some laps on int an it the surface didn't feel rough.
In my knowledge the yellow one is quite hard stone.
Also I took some pictures with water on them. Both of them doesn't soak water.
And the measurements: green one-92x25x15mm, yellow-88x25x14mm.

The brown stone im not sure of what it is, but the others sure looks like a Tam O Shanter to me.

The brown stone on the left is identical to 3 that I have. They are soft Arkansas stones. Degrease it with oven cleaner then lap it up to 600 grit. Use it with either kerosene or pariffin free lamp oil. Use a bit of pressure, it is a coarse bevel setter.
The one on the right does not remotely resemble the pattern I have seen in any of my Tam O'Shanter hones and definitely not a Water of Ayre which is a solid color.niftyshaving likes this.Randolph Tuttle, a SRP Mentor for residents of Minnesota & western Wisconsin
