Took a gamble on what I thought was a thuri. Think I won
Took a gamble on junk box full of clipper heads. Spotted a stone that looked the right dimensions of thuri. Could make out faint saw marks so needless to say I took a shot at it. Stone showed up yesterday covered in decades worth of gunk and dirt. I was disappointed at first because it looked to not be what I thought. I took it to the DMT and started lapping and then BOOM, paydirt! A beautiful green slurry raised right up and under the gunk is what seems to be a multi-layered Thuri! It almost looks as if there is a Blue, light green, and YG layer in the stone but its hard to tell. The stone was chamfered on one side that looks to have been a repair to a large chip or broken off piece. I lapped one side and gave it a test on a razor that recently wasnt' up to snuff. It gave results equivalent to a LG bout i purchased off peter last year. I began to lap the other side but have a chip to lap out so I put it off until later today. The stone measures 4-7/8" x 1 15/16" on the wide side and 1 6/8" on the thinner lapped side. Seems to be barbers delight dimensions but alas no box or label. Still it was quite a bargain for the price. If it's not a thuri then it at least gives edges like one. I'll try and get better pics later today.
