Thread: Hone ID

Could anyone please help me identifying these hones,
I think the smaller one was sold to me by a very knowledgeable chap as a Thuringer stone, but I'm not 100% positive anymore.

The larger was one once sold to me as a BBW, but it most certainly is not.
I think it's the same stone as the smaller one.

Since I sold my old boxed Thuringer/Escher a while ago I can't make a direct comparison by looks.

The light might have over-saturated them a bit and they look a tad darker IRL.

They're uniformly grey with some small hints of a black dot in them, they feel very smooth.
The slurry they produce is light grey, once the slurry is dried up it's more white-ish / very light grey.

Thanks in advance!

My Escher did not slurry that colour. I do have a Welsh slate that does have a very white slurry. It does look a lot like a Welsh slate too. There are a couple hone collectors that have fairly extensive pages.

I wonder if it is a pierre la lune.

I’ve never seen one in person, but the pics in the following thread kind of look like what you have.

I do have a La Luna, these seem to be a different stone.

I did buy both from German sellers, but will do some more investigating.

Slurry shows a bit lighter than it is IRL.
