The stone comes from the Saurat Valley in Ariège in the Pyrenees, where it has been mined or quarried since the 14th century – today by only one company. Also known as ‘grey gold’ (French: Or Gris), this shale sandstone consists mainly of silicon (58%), clay (9%) and lime (13%). As is usual with natural stones, the grain size can only be roughly estimated at 900 #, as it depends on the conditions at the quarry and the time of formation.
The stone is suitable for sharpening and honing, both dry and slightly moistened, and provides an excellent, fine sharpness. The back of the stone strap is equipped with nubuck cowhide leather for deburring.
