    Default FS. Large Escher

    For your fantasies or many generations of finishing. A large labeled Escher captured in the wilds of Wisconsin. Very Large 9¾" x 2" x 13/16ths+" Light Green rating on end paper. I was not aware of that color.

    I partially lapped it after purchase. It needs about another mm off the top.

    This the second largest Escher I have found and only second to the largest. $800 shipping included.
    PM with questions if you wish

    PS. I took the photos prior to having time to devote to the selling, therefore the date was last month.

    Sham said the light green was even better than the yellow green. I don't know about that, but it is a helluva stone. Great to find one that size as they are rare that large.
    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    I was told that the slurry of light green Eschers is green, yellow green Eschers produce yellowish slurry.

    It is tempting but I've got enough Eschers as it is.

    With thanks to all! The sale is firm. It goes to a gentleman who appreciates the use and history of the Escher hones.
