 Oilstones and other whet stones, scyt he stones, rubbing stones, and similar
products.—The group of special quarry products comprising smallsize
natural abrasive stones includes oilstones and other whetstones, hones, rubbing
stones, and scythestones cut or otherwise shaped in a great variety of forms
for the special uses indicated by their names.
 In spite of the development of artificial abrasive products, natural stones
are still popular for certain uses. The best natural material, though costly
because of the high percentage of waste involved in the quarrying of select
stones, is used for sharpening the fine edges of the tools of surgeons, engravers,
wood and ivory carvers, and dentists. Other grades are used by many craftsmen
in the wood and metal trades.
 Oilstones are produced in the United States from novaculite quarried in
Arkansas, other whetstones, chiefly' from sandstone quarried in Indiana and
Ohio, scythestones from sandstone quarried in Ohio and from schist quarried
in Vermont, and rubbing stones from sandstone quarried in Indiana and Ohio.
