>If it were a King, based on color, I'd say it looks more like an 8000 grit, than an 6000 grit. Ofcourse, this depends a lot on whether my monitor is rendering the colors the way your camera took it.

>Wow that didn't help much did it? Unusual for a man made finish stone not to have a stamp or label on it. I'd guess 6000-8000 as well but a lot also depends on how hard or soft it actually is. Give it a try
