Nobody on another forum had heard of a rose thurigian either. It is a mystery hone plain and simple.
I bet I know what it is,,,,:D
Hirlau are you selling cut up counter tops again ? :<0)
The people in the Thuringian region have never been shy when it comes to a commercial proposition. If it's not nailed down, it either gets cut square and sold as a hone or made into a sausage.
In this case, maybe they did both. Look familiar?

I think, at that price, it must be a very special Ripoff stone.
On a more serious note. It has one inclusion that looks like the ones in a Goldfisch hone. Especially the sides of the stone have a pattern that resembles a Schwedenstein. It does not look like rouge de Salm the only purplish razor hone I know
Henk vd Bos may tune in, he is an expert on European natural hones and sharpening stones.
Granite counter tops - never understood why she insisted on them. Made me go shopping and looking at all these huge different sheets of rock, many I really couldn't tell the difference between, but that rock in the picture looks pretty close to the 2.5 inches of granite running through the kitchen and kitchen dining area.
Got the look of death earlier from her when I told her I finally found a use for her counter tops, was going to hone all my razors on them.
Looks like I'll be sleeping on the counter tops tonight...:shrug:
