They had stamps and those kind of brrrr ........ ya . They are colectors items . if you use them , stamps and labels will be gone and its another ordinary hone .

OK, thanks!
I've looked it up and you're indeed right, it definitely looks as one
but it is way finer than a coticule for instance

I flattened the bottom (mostly, not entirely finished yet), and protected the sticker with transparent nail polish

Hard, fast stone, full of silver sparks (and a few gold ones), gives a bit of white-ish slurry after a while.
Honing results are truly very excellent!

Actually, no. I was just watching it. But I'm glad someone from the site got it, and shared his information about the stone.

There are some stones appearing "comparable" to the black/blue metallic looking Special Stones only for Good razors...

I also own three of these hard type stones with these glittering inclusions, a crosscheck identified mine to be a Pierre Aiguiser Naturelle de Saurat...

Talking with several a people we came to the conclusion that depending on the lapping level in thinking of finess...they can be quite good performers..

Using with water they give a harsh uncomfortable shave, using oil my grit estimation is above 6k-8k, some seems to get a bit higher then that...

The interesting thing is that your example is stamped and ive only seen one other example of those stamped hones, its from Modine on R&S....these just do look to different from the metallic looking special Stones...with their sometimes visible pockmarks.

Interesting!
I know it isn't a "La Lune" or a "Special Stone" of course, but the mentioning of being a concurrent of "La Lune" seemed intriguing, the stamp "Super Fine" does fulfill its promises, I must say, I've got a HHT4 out of it and a nice shave, maybe indeed a bit harsh, but not uncomfortable. Although it cannot compete with my Jnat's, it can go farther than my coti's, so the "grit-range" seems to fit.
I can relate that the finish is dependable to its lapping level, it indeed seems to be the case.
Still trying to get the best out of it, but it's promising ;)

Thanks!

Not enough time to finish lapping but still very smooth:tasks looks like ink!

A razor stone, no doubt about that, bought with a small coticule on paddle (which has been used upside down, I'll show you that..)

@Helge, very good catch, I like those red La Lune very much!

This stone is called on the french forum CCC (coupechouclub) "la pierre du sud ouest" (the stone from the south west) because as I lived there I have find a very large number of these stone near Toulouse.

La mystérieuse "Pierre du sud-ouest"

It's a kind of very soft coticule, a very good finishing stone !
