    Thanks to the OP for a very enjoyable thread. BTW, you are about 25 miles from me, I'm in Knoxville.

    Cheers, Steve

    I have to say that I have a couple favored stones. Not expensive at all.....
    An antique Coticule and a Blaugrün Escher both of normal form factor 1 7/8 x 7. Those are at present ones that I would be on a desert island with; and then only if the were a starlet there to make a shave worthwhile.
    I sold my 10+ inch Blaugrün last year. That would have been the expensive stone.

    Schwedenstein is some kind of Slate, mined at the Schwedenstein Mountain in Saxonia for a couple of time, mostles theyre thin and often fixed on a wooden paddle: Schwedenstein (Berg) – Wikipedia

    My most expensive hone was a Coticule Bout for 80€, but i sold it because i got better Cotis for very less money.
    The Hone thats possible most worth is a hard thuringian slate in a bigger size, very hard and with a nearly polished finish, not fast but fine :-)
