Mercilessly Ridiculed
I confess, I was impaired, had a tooth extracted and .....well, I probably shouldn't go further with that. So in the last 4 minutes of a auction I see this stone which I convince myself is a natural stone, not a synthetic. One of our fellow members openly ridiculed me and suggested I stay away from Ebay (this is the 3rd purchase that has been questionable so he has a point). I guess now I wonder just what this 'oilstone' is. It does not look like the carborundum of old, but I have not looked at oil stones in a long long time.

161115226915 That is the auction number...it is huge if it is a barbers hone. I'm sure you are right, it is not a natural stone but on my monitor it seemed to have flecks of another color in the stone...that is what snagged me.

Don't think it is a barber hone: 1 inch hight is not typical for barber hones. @Glen: isn't it too greenish-brown for a surgical black?

You can always set a gnome on it in your garden if it does not pan out!
