Some honing goodies from an auction
Got these in a lot at an auction, would really like to know what the natural stone is, it's as big as a brick.

Would that be considered a finishing stone?

Lap it, give it a go. That's all ya can do.! If not, then maybe some where in a honing progression.

My experience with slate is that it can be anywhere from 5000 to 12000 grit. Originally Posted by Miner123

Seeing the nagura(s) makes me wonder if it is a slate or a hard rock like some of the other imported stones. Notable "On beyond 10,000" ( last year) and other really hard stones
