"Green" Escher....Just Green...
Hello All,
I was wondering if anyone can help me make sense of what this is?... I just acquired an interesting Escher that I'm waiting to be shipped to me. As you can see, most if not all of the rear label is in tact, which is nice. What struck me as odd though, is that the side "color" label says "Grun", or Green. Not yellow-green, not light-green, not blue-green; just green....:hmmm:
AFAIK there is no such stone as a "Green Escher", or is there such a thing? Could this label just be an anomaly, or even a fake? I can't imagine someone going thru the effort to fake an Escher label, though...The rear label looks to be legit, but I admittedly do not know a whole heck of a lot about Eschers, so I truthfully am not sure...:shrug: The stone itself IS greenish in color, and is almost a 2-tone stone with a darker bottom half (see pics...sorry for the poor quality!!)
Has anyone seen anything like this before? In truth I suspect that the stone is legit, but the side label is throwing me for a loop!! Any info you fine gents may have would be greatly appreciated!!!
Here are a few pics:
