    If you look at this page of wikipedia:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lithogr..._early_process

    It says that early lithography used limestone.

    Here too you get pretty much an idea as to how it works and what sort of stones lithography uses:

    Thanks for the links.

    If those are indeed limestone, I suspect they are not overly expensive (couple of 100s for a new stone similar to mine.)

    If the knife test turns out Ok I might have them cut into norton sized blocks for convenience.
