    Default Whaddaweavere - Thuringian or Charnley Forest or Llyn Idwal or chunk of Jasper or...

    Took a punt on a couple of stone on ePay; I don't know they just looked promising.



    After a couple of hours work, they came out looking a little more interesting.



    There's enough resources on the red/blue stones that I think I'll figure if I have me a La Lorraine, Belgian Blue, Rouge du Salm, etc. All I know though is it's not likely a finisher. But the green one feels harder and finer, but its origin has me stumped. Before hitting the diamonds, I thought it likely a Thuringian (yellow/green probably), but now I'm doubtful. It's more on the turquoise green side and has a generous amount of reddish striations.
    Makes it look a little more like a Charnley Forest or Llyn Idwal?


    (set against the Chosera 1k for colour calibration purposes)

    Will hone with her later today, but be really keen on your opinion so I might narrow down what I have, and take a better punt on where to use it in a coticule progression, whether to use it with slurry, plain water, a little detergent, etc.



    Thanks in advance.
