I don't even know if it is a Jnat or something else.
It will not give up slurry easily, I used a worn fine credit card diamond I normally use for slurry, the stone just laughed at it; I had to use a 400 Atoma, I got a creamy white to beige .
I did a scratch test and I shows a 4 (mohs) which is Florite, but a worn diamond will not bring a slurry. I must be doing something wrong.
I takes about 5 minutes to soak up most of the water from wet.
The fault you see is not noticeable when honing and I cannot feel it from the top. I don’t know what the sparkles are when dry, maybe silica.
This is a VERY hard stone. Probably a 9.2 out of 10. The razor just glides over it so I assume it would need a slurry to work.
I did lap it up to 2000 film without too much trouble. I have not tried to hone a razor with it yet, just tried a couple of swipes and it is like stropping glass.
