I know I got too excited a bit here :)
[QUOTE=shooter74743;1562007]Randy bought the remaining inventory, recipes, and rights from The American Hone Company. He has been working on a barber hone off and on for some years now. The thing is, he is a man of many interests and he has his irons in a lot of different fires.
Plus, it is not as simple as getting out the recipe book and whipping up a barber hone. The lady who made them wrote some of the ingredients for various hones, but not the amounts IIRC. Also, some of the ingredients were still in stock, while others were not, and in some cases are no longer available.
Anyway, it is a lot more complex than mixing up a bowl of stuff and putting it in the oven. Involves hydraulic presses and other expensive equipment. Anyway ......... one of these days Randy may get back to it.
It is very hard to say from photos. See this from ChopperDave in post #25 in this thread. Note how it is the same hone, but how different the colors look depending on the background. My inclination, looking at your photos, is that it is a blue-green, but it is hard to say without seeing it in person.
No matter what color, or how old, if it is a good hone for razors that is all that matters. No matter when it was quarried it is thousands of years old. So the important thing is how the edge is after the honing. :shrug:

[QUOTE=JimmyHAD;1562067]In the meantime...if you want an American Hone Co. hone you just have to find one out in the 'wild'...
