Thread: Just received bargain yellow-green Escher

For those interested: I took some pictures of my Escher. The colour is more or less how it is. Colour best described as the green of dried green peas. The whitish stuff on the large stone is dried slurry.

Nice pics, Kees - thanks for making the effort and congrats on a super deal!..

Nice stone!

Kees, the stone is very nice. Does it have a label on the underside?

The same as all Eschers, there's also a users' instruction label on inside of lid.

I check marktplaats every now and then. Missed that one. Congrats.

You really did! Because while it featured on marktplaats you had bid on another razor just lower down on the marktplaats page! The lady who offered it for sale lives close to you in Tilburg I believe. Had I lived in Brabant I would have driven to her.

For a week I have been worried sick that you might just drive to her and buy it there and then, as I still don't bank electronically. The picture showed the razors (crap ones) clearly with the hone on the background, the Escher label for the experienced eye recognizable!

Kees,
I've saved these pictures as I intend to put together a photo gallery as a study collection so that we can all have something to refer to when trying to identify stones. May I have permission to use those photos? Also, I have stones in my collection that not only are the same color but also have the same quarry cut marks on the end as the stone with the end shot with the label "yellow green". I look at quarry cut marks as an aid to identification as they are different from quarry to quarry.

Howard,

No problem at all. Everything I post here can be used to all members' benefit.

May I ask: do you know in which quarry and where my hone was quarried?
