Thread: Razorlovestones Project / Magnification Shots of Stones

The third one is a Combinaison Maston stone from FGBC with one side beeing a gray/blue "La Lune" on the other side with a Master Stone (synthethic)....

Interesting are the long pockmarks which are often visible on these gray/blue colored stones, actually these are small immersions (ca. 1mm) where each of the immersion has another piece of material in the middle...any guesses what this could be? Probably fossil inclusions ?

I have a whole bunch of shots of different stones but they are all 120x - I take one shot with ring light and one with raking light to show surface texture. Cool project!

Great Eric please add them here if you want ;-)

Thuringian Water Stones Part 2
High Quality Stones from
Escher & Co and Karl Brächer Jr.

In generell i think we can all agree that nearly all natural stones can be different as each individual appearance is unique....i now did some shots on the more valuable stones of my collection, in this case two Barber Delight Stones, one in YG the other as a combo stone in YG/DB. A third german "Barbers Delight" type "Rasierstube" in DB and a Karl Brächer Jr. in YG.

Actually i only used the very homogenious Barber Delight in YG and the Karl Brächer as the others have fully attached labels.

The interesting thing here is, that all the surface structures of the YG stones look very comparable.

A very fine clustered and homigenious surface, even the DB looks comparable in the visual fineness...just from the look the YG stones might have come from the same quarry ;-)

Barbers Delight YG:


Karl Brächer Jr. YG:


Barbers Delight YG/DB, this was never lapped so some scratches:


Typ Rasierstube DB:

Great pictures! Keep 'em coming

JNATS Part 1
Here is another fine one, a Ohzuko in Razorsize. Get some good results with this one.
Actually fineness here is comparable as the structure shows on the HQ Thuringian stones
i have shown before.

Backside:



Something for the rougher work...Amkusa...a stone which could be used for Bevel Set, admitting that its quite a slow coarse stone. Probably more comparable to a synthethik 3K stone, with slurry a bit faster...
