Thread: Show your big (and small) naturals!

I did a search to see if there was a specific show your natural stones thread and didn't find anything, so here we go: Show your natural stones collection! Here are mine, I have a lot of "found" natural stones also but only have a few in these pics. These are otherwise all "established" natural stones from the sellers in the business of honing stones.

First up, Arks and Washitas:



Next, slates and coticules:



Sandstones:



JNats:

My little BBW/Coticle 2.54 x 10 cm

at one point or another I used to have all those in my collection





A few are not naturals here

10.5" Escher



Got two crappy Coticules somewhere and a small Thuri as well.


This one is the wall of a J-nat seller in Japan, all stones are Nakayamas, that is what I call a collection!

Were the ones on the wall not usable?

That would be my guess, I did not take the picture.

Every stone is usable ,just lapp it flat. It is so good that this wall is in Japan if it was somwhere near me i could not sleep till i strip every stone from it

Im "In"....some slates

@Eric:
ive seen this banded thuri somewhere before ;-)
Is that one in left buttom corner one of the Bavarians ?




Thuringian Bouts:

Sebastian, ; ) yup it sure is. Both of the Thuris I got from our trade are in there, the big brother is right next to the bandy little guy, lol. I was hoping to see some of your rock piles! I sometimes imagine you swimming around in piles of hones like Scrooge McDuck in his gold!

BTW got a really nice slate I think you'd like a lot if you are interested in another trade. I find it out-shaves the Thuris quite easily, and is much faster to boot. There is one to the left of the Thuris in the slate shot. Easily and by quite a margin one of my favorite shaves.

So looks like it doesnt will take long until you can join ;-)
