Thread: Green Stone ID...

After searching previous threads can this small stone be identified?

• Stone lapped and chamfered. This is Hard stone.
• Slurry raised w/ DMT1200 Greenish white tint
• Test razor shows darkening of slurry after 15 to 20 passes. Cuts fast.

Very nice feed back. Surface of stone has smooth glass like transition
Test pending to see if this stone it will improve edge after 8000 grit stone with water and or oil. thank you

I don't know, but it is a beautiful looking stone.
Could it be slate, even though it is so smoothly cut?
I have a greenish piece of slate from the British Isles, that produces slurry that exact color.

Jade perhaps?

well its not jade. modine you say its hard, hard like a cf ? the texture i'm picking up from the pic it looks to be some kind of slate does the stone fall some where around the 10k mark ?

Some think it's a Cutler's Green:


Others call it a CF.
Yet others think it's Llyn Idwal.
The type has even been called Tam O'Shanter.

For these jade coloured, speckled, glassy hones with a slight translucency, as seen especially well in flakey cracks which run at small angles to the surface, I keep it at Llynn Idwal.

no I have one of these. I haven't had the time to test it on a razor as of yet but the surface texture and colour is vastly different.

If anyone wants to try this for fun the surface is VERY and I mean VERY rough, not lapped straight from the saw ^_^

Can you show detail without slurry and sides as well please? So far I would say LI.

Olivia initially thought it was a CF and added it to the SRP wiki as such. Later she realized it couldn't be a CF and decided on calling it a Cutler's Green. There wasn't much or any talk about Llyn Idwals back then otherwise she might have chosen another name for it.

I also think Modine's stone could be a Llyn Idwal.

modine does water absorb into the stone ?
