Nice stone but too rich for my blood. Of course I usually just pick up rocks out of the garden or driveway. Although I do have a fondness for jade types and other light passers like pale novoculite.

Would have been more understanding if it had the box with it IMO. With it just having ink it is not going to hold all that value if you want to try it out any. Guess next time someone post a WTB salm rock they have another idea of what price to expect ha.

My thoughts exactly. If you are going to drop that kind of money you better get one with the box and sticker on the back.

Na, it’s probably a real stone. Stamped Salm stones are very rare, like labeled Escher’s. There are tons of unstamped or labeled stones in the wild.
A coticule cut to that size is a good indicator of a good razor stone, not 1k good, but good.
Fake stamped Jnats are fairly easy to detect from the stone, but yea, with digital photography real stamp are easy to make.
I recently bought 2 used, Alex Gilmore “Hord stones” nowhere near that price, and documented with photos. They are performers.

Welcome to the forum. I hope you hang around. There are a lot of great people and conversations about many topics going on here. We would love to hear more of your story and if you use a straight, what kind(s) and the history of them. Heirlooms are a cherished item by many here
As to the salm rock: good for you. If you can get it more power to ya. Personally I don't think I could part with it but then I would use it and it sounds like maybe you wouldn't (?)
