    Default Interesting Stone, Shame About the Chips

    I thought that this one may appeal to all the HAD junkies out there PURPLE SLATE SHARPENING STONE WITH UNUSUAL VOIDS on eBay (end time 02-Sep-09 21:44:01 BST)

    Beautiful colour and figuring, I don't think I could live with the chips though

    Regards,
    Alex

    Given that the seller is in Leicestershire, and that the green spotting is a similiar green to Charnley stones, anyone think that this is a variant colour/ figuring of the usual Charnley stone?

    Regards,

    Ive got a similar stone, with only a small green dot in it...about 1/4 inch in circumference...it gives off a very purple slurry. Bought it out of the U.K....it was just described as slate.

    Just thought i'd throw this out there...it looks similar, anyhow. I thought originally it might be BBW, but now i know its not and wondered...note the green, circular inclusion, in the upper right of the stone...
