    • 1963, Crichton Porteous, Portrait of Peakland:
      Some of the stone used to be made into grindstones and scythestones, and aged carpenters and farmmen tell how "kindly" it was to their tools and scythe blades; it left the edges smooth as silk, which synthetic stone (carborundum) never quite does.
