I use to think these were rare after seeing that thread I think they are just being held onto. If you don't want to start a HAD don't go to that thread. It will make you love these rocks even more.
Oh and I have not owned either one, but on the Thuri / Escher thing I have seen and read alot and everyone says they are the same stone. Even the listings selling them. I have had a razor finished on a Escher, and the edge was almost like my coti. I think they guy doing it first had better skills than me and he also used several other stones leading up to the esher. So the razor seemed a bit keener.
