If you found it, it will definitely worth it, but I don't think it will be the miraculous razor hone.

My objective is not to find "The miraculous razor hone" at all, its more about making people aware about the stone, and its origin and history.
Perhaps maybe somebody will have more info on it or even find a marked stone!
