Four hundred million years ago in a small geographical region of Central Arkansas, now part of the Ouachita
Mountains, nature began the creation of a sedimentary rock formation composed of microcrystalline quartz called Novaculite. The word Novaculite comes from the Latin word
novacula, meaning razor stone. Novaculite is a recrystallized variety of chert. It is the stone material from which whetstone and oilstone sharpeners are made.

Novaculite is a type of stone that can only be
found in North America and in a limited geographical region of Texas, Oklahoma
and Arkansas. The novacula stone formation in
the Ouachitas of Central Arkansas is geologically considered, without a doubt,
to be the purest and finest quality. Its extremely high-purity silica
content exceeds 99 percent. This Ouachita Mountain Novaculite is the only
Novaculite we use in producing the FINEST whetstone sharpeners you can buy. |
