For the record, after many many years of looking, I finally got myself a yellowgreen escher. Would I buy one again? At the price I paid, sure! Would I look for one actively for my personal use.... No!

It's nice, it puts a great edge on my razors, but to me, personally, not good enough to justify the prices asked for these things.

I still have mine, but it will likely go on the "for sale" block in due course as I just don't see enough of a difference to the other hones I have to justify the cost. Don't get me wrong, it's a superb hone, but to me it's just not an "OMG it's the greatest hone ever" kind of hone. It might very well be me.... I tried it ONCE, and that was it! Perhaps I could eak out some more goodness out of it, but honestly, I just wasn't up to the task.
