Hope everyone is well.
A French stone rode along with a razor I purchased. I thought it would be an odd one based on the heavy use all over it, but I wanted the razor. I lapped it for kicks, and it produced an ungodly amount of purple creamy slurry like plum sorbet. Is this a Le Lune stone?
Since it was soft I jumped grits from 80>220>400>600 and when I was watching the patterns immerge in the stone during the 800 I realized I had no idea how fine to go...and you guys might know the stone type. I expected it was too flawed to save anything so just went at it.
There are green inclusions with white flecks, and fine white lines occasionally lacing through the stone
Should I continue polishing it to a higher grit? I was going to bevel the edges too.
Thoughts?

Here it is as advertised
and some wet pictures in the California sun, pix sharpened but no color adjust except the close up of the inclusions where I bumped contrast, brightness to highlight patterns.
