Turkey Oil Stone or former known as "Pierre Du Levant", "Pierre Du L'est", "Turkois Stone" or "Turkey Stone". In Germany these Stones were also known as Levantiner or Levantischer Schleifstein.

A very hard Dolomit (from Hardness Novaculite like) stone, smells like sulphur when lapped. Different inclusions, looks like it has many different cracks inside the stone.

A Stone which is known as beeing a bevel setter and mid-range Stone, some of these Stones are finishers....so these properties have to be checked out and cannot be determined by their look.

It seems to be that there is now a newer sourced stone which is named "Cretan Hone" which origin is in creece, which was a Part of the Ottoman Empire, so this Stone is also qualified as beeing a "Turkish Oil Stone", Check the Thread on Coticule.be
