I’ll wait for your report back on the slates first though.
What kind of thing were you wanting something for? I’ve only tried them out briefly admittedly, but my thoughts above probably won’t change. I have my own standardised ways of testing stones, and it’s usually quite accurate. (Famous last words!)
if it’s likely a novaculite, would a raw stone look similar to the unlapped sides of charnley forests i have admired so many pictures of?
Probably a bit different, cos the sides of charns have still been cut. More like a cross between raw slate and flint/chert. I’ve got one more quarry visit post to do in this thread which will have some pics...
