I came across this on the bay. They state it's a natural & even mention that it's suited for final polish of straights.

It's a very odd colour though. Brown/ red. Not like any Chinese 12k i've seen.
Does anyone have any idea what it might be? I'd have assumed it was a synthetic if they hadn't stated contrary.
Arggghh ! I thought I was in HAD remission ........ until now.... :cry:
Just kidding. I haven't the foggiest idea what it is. I know that if I don't get it someone on this forum probably will. :rofl2:
That's true Jimmy, someone will. Go get it now, quick, before they do!! :D
If someone does i'd be interested in how it performs compared to the grey.
Seems like a good deal but from the edge smears and overall look of the surface, I'd say it is a very coarse stone. Even more so that the 500 grit I use for my meat cleavers.
