    boo... I heard that this stuff can have a particle size of up to 6 microns, so I did some more research, and it's mostly not even chromium oxide! According to the MSDS, it is up to 60% Alumina, only 20-30% Chromium Oxide, and the rest is animal fats and waxes...

    I also have this same bar. I took an old cheese grater,don't take your wife's new grater, with tiny holes and grated a chunk into powder. I then added just enough mineral oil to make a paste and then I applied the paste to a leather strop I had as a back up. As a final polishing step in the honing process it has worked well for me. YMMV...I say try it and experiment. I did and it works well.
