No proof but I believe this to be a very rare rose Thuringian

I google, I search SRP, I scratch my head: is there such a thing as the Rare Rose Thuringian? This seller seems to get a lot of stones.....maybe has a lot of stones also.
I know there are some experts here on Thuringians, I hope they can illuminate this."Call me Ishmael"

Corners are not chamfered & aweful thick for most thuringians I have ever seen. I've never seen a thuringian with all the shades and colors either, most are quite uniform. That stone just screams "found locally"...but I could be wrong as I wouldn't know until I put a razor across it. WOuld I want to try it for that kind of money...nope.

I bought a black thurigian from that seller. That is not what it was. I did however get a way better hone than that. What it actually is is a Pierre La Lune special hone for good razors only. It was not even a German hone, but a good one. He does sell a lot of hones. He said that an old barber told him it was a rose thurigian. It is a gamble for sure, the big question is how much do you spend on a mystery bag?

Has anyone ever heard of a Rose Thuringian? And does it resemble another known hone?

A "Rose Thuringian"? We're just allowed to make stuff up now? What am I bid for my Neptunian Dragon's Tongue?

I might be interested in trading you a 7th century wedge scaled in unicorn horn for the Neptunian Dragon's Tongue.

Poking around the site the hone most resembles a Charnley Forest Hone.
