Thread: Labeled Escher hone without box

A nice labeled Escher. Measures 8 x 1 3/4. I won't guess the color so you be the judge. ( a customer on ebay returned it to me saying it wasn't as described. He says it's a blue green FWIW.) $515.00 TYD CONUSA.

Here it is wet.

and the back

I think he was making excuses and was looking for a way out. It looks like a green to me.

I did bid on your auction and at least from the pics I was bidding on it as a YG stone.

G or YG. Sure ain't no BG. Nice rock!

Looks green to me. I think whoever it was needs to salve his @$$. Nice looking stone and perfect size. Wish I had the expendable funds.

It was probably a rabbi. If they even think there is a hint of blue in them they refuse to use the things..

!!!

Possible, but generally Rabbi's don't care about labels enough to pay the premium that a labeled escher would fetch.

There's one in Spring Valley, NY that throws big money around for the labeled yg rocks and has for years. And I had a lg returned once with no label by that same buyer because they thought they saw the tininst hint of blue in there (where idk, but they bought so many eschers off of me over the years wo haggling I wasn't going to argue with them)...

Okay I give up. What does a rabbi have to do with a wet stone anyway? What is the significance of the color blue? What am I missing here?
