Has anyone used marble to hone with? I was looking through the 9th edition of "Exercises inPhysical Geology" and found a picture of unfinished marble, and the texture and color look strikingly similar to my hone!

Marble I've handled is pretty soft stuff relatively speaking. Weird.

I believe these stones may be soft Arkasas or more likely Wa****a. A pourus enough stone to suck up a hundred years of dirt and oil but too hard to work with. I tried belting a couple of suspect stones in the hopes they would reveal their true colors but it just wore out the belts and it
smelled like flint. I'm not fond of the Arkansas family of stones.
