    The diagram shows green veins similar to yours?

    The diagram shows different veins and dots. Look in the photos there and you will see the difference.

    Yes think that's what it looks like, but the green area has a glass like shine when the light catches it

    I seem to, too! But it really isn't about finding a perfect shaving edge, it's about playing with stones.

    Yes, I am happy with my quality of shaves with the same set of hones; I just like finding and playing with the stones too.

    It looks like the fabled green-striped Bitza to me - similar to the blue striped Hodgepodge, but totally different.
