No not really. Having had quite a few come through my hands I would say that all of them look different shades of gray ...... with the exception of the dark blue. That looks dark blue IME. Even with the DB there are nuances and shades between stones. The y/g , IME, when wet has a slight yellow hue.

This is a Coticule stone:

Funny thing is at the bottom of the auction on the first questions the seller claims that he is currently writting a book about stone from
the Thuringen area especially Eschers

Hello gents, by any chance this stone was bought by a SRP member? If so please post your toughts about the stone if you receive it.

Like Kees an others have said, it is a synthetic - not even a real coticule. If you enlarge the picture you can see that it was produced in a mould - one layer (blue, probably) being oured first and allowed to firm-up, at which point it has pulled away from the sides/corners a little, then the yellow layer poured, hence the sharp but undulating line and step in the corner between the two:
