Water hone for all edged tools requiring an instrument grade finish.

~ Cream to amber slurry~

Silica powder composes in the structural geometry leaving edges brilliance & durability. A ‘pure' sample of novaculite would contain SiO2 or molecular silica only. Our 'Invitica' listings are from this type of geological formation. Sedimentary or clay matrix novaculite often have 2/3 SiO2 [silicon dioxide] content. Generally speaking, this is the microporous form of quartzite doing the sharpening. The other 1/3 is a bonding mineral often known as either Muskovite or as Sericite.".
Microcrystalline particles release while honing create a more durable final polish than any type of synthetic stone.

~ Nakoda stones are excellent in final progression prior burnishing or stropping of straight razors ~
~ Hard & fine finishing hone of surgical grade ~
~ `May be used either with oil or as a water hone if oil is never given application ~

Black veins occurring in certain hones exhibit iron oxide concentrations in the Muskovite. In others, bluish patches demonstrate other mineralizations within the clay matrix stones. Iron oxide is normally present. Certain matrix stones have higher, more visible concentrations.

Sharpening-grade novaculite normally produces a range of textures. These range from those with the appearance of an unglazed porcelain, a porosity of several percent and serves as a good stone for coarse sharpening, to an extremely fine-grained material known for having almost no porosity and as an excellent tool for honing a razor-sharp blade
