I think it's another Thuringian
Out in an antique shop today, saw this little guy in a tool box (marked as "tool"). It reminded me of my German Water Stone in size and feel so I bought it. Plus the price was so low it was pretty much no risk. Check out the pictures and let me know what you think, yes I know it's really hard to tell without a box or labels but I'm fairly certain it's a very light colored Thuringian. It is the stone across the bottom, the stone at the 2 o' clock is my labeled thuringian, and the stone to the 11 o' clock is my other recent acquisition a wasserabziehstein (water stone). In person, the Wasser is much darker and bluish, the Thuri is green, and the new unknown is much lighter green.

Bottom, see the multicolored corner of the unknown stone:

Yup, looks like it and measures like it. It doesn't need a label to be a great hone!

Would like to see a slurry on it, but it sure looks like one to me. Nice find!

Sure, slurry in better natural light. This thing is really soft, 1500 paper worked up slurry quickly.
