    Default Not a Yellow Lake Oilstone

    Just a heads-up for those buying vintage stones that the stone in this auction 120707561882
    is not a Yellow Lake Oilstone. It looks more like a Guangxi.

    Here's a Yellow Lake Oilstone next to a DT:

    I have a feeling the seller bacchus7-2007 knows exactly what he's selling. He has sold several Guangxis from the flea market before. He's probably expecting most buyers won't recognize it or won't bother getting a refund.

    I have seen more than a few chinese stones from him that he's advertised as something else.
