Thread: Question about eschers

is it possible to find an escher which has three different types of escher stones in it? like a combo coticule except it has 3 different colors one obviusly sandwiched in between the other two? The story is I got an ebay 20 dllr possible mini escher and when I got it it is greyish greenish on one side and dark blue grey on the other, figured it was a loss since eschers don't come in combo or whatever it is a natural stone though. So about 2 days ago I try it out and man does it leave a nice finish, cleaned it up and to my surprise there is three different color variations and what seems to be an inclusion which is dark brown in color, currently busy but will try to post pictures tomorrow or later today. Another thing is the stone has some deep gashes on the sides so it probably was cut roughly or someone really took poor care of it.

Please do post those pictures. I am keeping an eye on this thread!!

I have seen an Escher with two distinct colors more than once and I have an Escher slurry stone that is blue/green on one side and yellow/green on the other. I too am anxious to see photos of your Escher.

My Celebrated Water Razor Hone, essentially an escher, in a yellow-green on the honing side, but the label side it's a blue colour, and if you look at the side profile you can see a definite line where the two colours meet. So I know there are "escher combo" hones, although I've never heard on one with 3 colours...

Please post pictures, we love hone porn.

If I had that stone I would have a hard time not wetting the label and trying to peel it off intact so that I could use both sides. As far as the brown. Sham and I have brown hones that although they don't have labels look like Eschers under magnification and very well may be.

One note though!!! I don't know if this is an escher but I suspect it is I will post pics as soon as I can, there is definitely three colors and an inclusion in it though... whatever it is.

OK posting fotos now!

Link to photos, any help highly apreciated.

Nice rock. It is hard to tell from photos in terms of which color you have. Here is an archived thread with many photos. From looking at these you may be able to tell better than someone looking at your photos.

Edit; check out the second page of the thread for another Escher combo stone.
