"Look what I found"
The third is a keeper. I was oil soaked black when I got it. I bought it because is is heavy and dense for it size that is 9 x 2 1/8 x 1 inch thick. After a few days in the dip, out came a purple stone. It is not porous at all. No oil remained or leached out. Lapping shows a busy stone. It is on the hard side. It did not lap easily, took a while on a plate to level out. Orbs or green over the surface. There are bursts of orange and white scattered among the orbs. It might a New England stone but the pattern does not look familiar. It is a good looking stone. I put a SR upon and it delivered a impressive edge. Nicely polished and comfortable on the face. I like this rock
