    Default NOS Escher Blue / Green

    After gazing at this beautiful stone for ages, I reached out to this fine gentleman in Saudi Arabia and we came to an agreement. Incredibly nice guy, very helpful in all the questions I had, and was a pleasure to deal with.

    Just arrived, is this beautiful Escher Razor Hone, Blue / Green, boxed, labelled, and unused. I will probably never use this stone, I wanted this for no other reason than it is has been preserved perfectly for so many decades and to me seems like a rare treasure, and these stones for some reason absolutely intrigue me.

    17.5 cm length
    4 cm width
    2 cm depth

    I have only seen one in that good a condition and it did not have the box, just wrapped in vellum paper. A buddy got it from an antique store near here.

    Thanks guys - I felt it was almost a once in a lifetime shot for a stone like this.

    This one will never be used, unlike my other stones which are seldom used ....aside from my Naniwa 1k that is, which is covered in my tears and blood, one day it will yield and befriend me....practice, practice, practice!!!

    Wow, that is indeed a treasure. I'll trade you for one that's been properly broken in.
