Can any one tell me what grit, stones these are? Not sure how to tell. Any help will be appreciated.
One has to different sides and the other is all one stone.
Thanks

Yeah it looks a lot better in person, thanksThe second one does look like a modern hark Arkansas. Neat stone if it is with the pink hues.
Thanks for the helpOn my tablet. first looks like a synth oilstone. The second may be a hard arkansas? Someone on a desktop able to confirm?
Looks like a carbo/ fine India combo and then either a very fine soft ark/pink translucent and then a translucent Arkim not sure but the first pic looks like a SiC, is the second and third pic the same stone?
I have reason to believe they are Arkansas stones, especially the pink one. I have nothing to base it on though. Thanks for your help.The first one could be a lot of things, India is not one of my guesses. I had a soft/hard Ark combo that looked similar but I can't tell by pix, I'd have to handle the stones to know. Guessing is fun but it's guessing. When I deal with stones, I prefer facts over guesses. Guesswork turns into fleabay listings with dubious titles all too often. If there is no chance of getting any background info on them, then try sharpening stuff on them, see how it goes. That will tell you something about what you're dealing with, grit-wise. If it's important enough, maybe send them to someone that knows stones to evaluate.
