    Looks kind of like a black Arkie to me. Could be wrong though.

    Looks more like a Welsh slate to me.

    It is creating kind of gray slurry, maybe light gray when drying off on the stone.

    Probably not an Arkie if you got it to slurry well.

    What are you raising the slurry with, and how difficult is it to do so?

    I use DMT 325, so it is pretty easy. Stone however feel like a hard stone. I think it is between 6k to 9k.
