Excellent finishing stone for sharpening straight razors, knives, chisels, gouges, blades etc.

The stone has a white suspension. Several old Journals of Archaeological Science mention the grey-green hone stones. That author, D. Moore under the heading "Leicestershire Oilstone" refers to it as a very fine grained pale grey stone containing quartz, muscovite and opaque material. It was obtained from the Charnwood Forest. There is mention of non-figured grey hones in other works, too.
