I picked this up about two weeks ago. The price I paid for it would not buy me a bag of popcorn at my local theater. It had been severely abused by it's previous owner, and left for dead. Took a little work for me to get it back in shape, but was well worth it.
It puts a lovely edge on a straight razor.

Great find! What are the measurements?
Thanks, guys. She measures 1 and 9/16" (so about 1.5") X 7".

Thrift store. It had sat there for at least a month. I even looked at it once but passed on it, thinking it was just another Aluminum Oxide stone. Wasn't until I picked it up and turned it over that I knew it had possibilities. But my eyes are bad, and I could not make out the label. Bought it, took it home and looked at it with magnification, and happy happy.
Lucky sod :)
Amazing find for an unbelievable price!
I found an unlabeled/unboxed thuri in the same manner once, don't expect to be lucky line that ever again.
Can you make out the color label on the end of the stone?
Thanks, guys.
TwistedOak, yeah, I feel like I used up all my luck this year, lol.
And, no, the color label is utterly obliterated, but from what I've been able to research, it looks like a yellow green to me, but I've never seen any in person except for this one.
I'm glad to have the label on the back to identify it, but mostly it's kind of irrelevant; this rock will never leave my possession, and will be well used and loved.
