The first one is a mystery
It's very hard and measures 8 3/8" x 2 1/8" and has a wooden base, price $3.95

The second one is a Pike/Norton combination $5

Congrats. My guess on the first is a norton india. It looks sort of coticule-ish and I recall Norton made some india's that were made up like coticules. Is it two sided?

May be a real coticule too, but I imagine you'd show us more of it if you suspected that.

It's definitely not a Coticule, but it is a natural stone. It's not two sided and very hard, I used a Norton lapping plate and the stone was fairly hard on the plate and there was as much green slurry as there was tan/yellow slurry.
