Thanks Ty, I forgot to post the dims on the unknowns.
The black smaller one is 5 3/8x1 7/8x11/32 and is mottled when wet,it also has iron and I think pyrite.
I think it's a black ark but it's not as fine as the two that I have,but is finer than the washita.

The grey stone measures 220mmX 50mmX 17mm and is green/grey when wet,with light gey spots on one side and very light striations in the same light grey on the other side.
I would say it's finer than the lilly white but not as fine astne black arkie. I think it's a Dalmor blue but the colors seem's to be reversed(greyish stone with green/blue spots. So I can't say for sure.

A BIG thank you to Euclid for the help. I wish we lived a little closer I would have asked you to be my mentor. I've seen quite a few post from you and you know your stuff, and share youre wisdom. I have relatives in So Cal, would you mind if I contacted you when went to see them. It would be cool to chat with you and learn.

I'm using Naniwa Super Stones and I absolutely love them.

Come on down.

Does the green one slurry?

Welcome to the forum.

Euclid, I don't have a slurry stone but i've tried it with my Sic stone. It's pretty hard, like my Arkansas and the color is greyish/white. It's hardnes has me thinking Dalmore but not sure.
