Thread: Thuri?

Well, here is a big gray SS with off white slurry.


And here is a Dalmore with brownish green slurry. The Dalmore will feel gritty when you draw a razor across it.

I thought the Dalmore has swirls in the stone?

Interesting looking stone. The shape and colour of the slurry make a thuringian not as likely.

Not all Dalmore Blues have the swirl texture. They do have a greenish slurry. They're porous sandstones iirc, if you put some drops of water on a dry DB you can see the water getting absorbed.

Can you make a picture of it dry?

Hi Piet i agree...slurry looks different and more yellowish/brownish...

@nicknbleeding
Try the test Piet recommended....i also have a Dalmore with less or nearly no swirls....
You should feel if you have a porous sandstone (Dalmore Blue) which feels a little bit gritty but fine, or if you have real thuringian which is very very smooth and feels like silk....

As having no Special Stone i cant give any advice....sorry...

Thank you guys. Not porous at all. Raised a slury very easily with dmt. Brownish slury.

The light color is where the dmt was. I didn't fully lap it.

one more

Did you clean it in any way before ? I am unsure but this looks more as ist was used with oil or there ist still a huge amount of dirt (slurry?) which wasnt cleaned on the surface...so it could be that this layer of "whatever" influenced the colour of the slurry....

I think thats why i would recommend to fully lap/clean this one before....

Ok I will lap it when I get home.
