WHAT IS IT?

[hi_bud_gl]

I just got this and at first i thought it is charnley forest. after compare my another cf i think it is not charnley f. the reason is mainly color is more brownish and looks like translusent arkansas. i do have translusent arkansas too but a little white then this one. any way i am confused and lets see someone can find out what is it.
it has very fine feeling , and will leave very nice edge similar to charnley forest.

Size ,shape, wooden box , acting same as charnley forest but color is different.

I don't know what it is but it sure is pretty.

I'd guess a high quality Arkansas, but, I'm no expert on US rock (or any other type TBH).

Well you've got brown Eschers, why can't you have yellow Charnley Forests?

I still want to know how you manage to find all those beautiful hones.

Ron i am sure this is not Escher. This is really strange one. slow cutter too. looks great stone ,feels nice too, i hope we will find out what is it. it is not turkey oil stone ether.

Sham,

Gorgeous colors in that stone. I've never seen anything like that before. It certainly has a smooth finish.

Really beautiful!
Does it have the typical slate / silky sheen like the CF or is it more glass like / homogenous, like agate?

[hi_bud_gl]

it is more glass like.

That speaks more for an arkansas then.

Sham, I think Ron is saying this, if you can have different colors of eschers (and coticles) why cant you have a different colors of Charnley Forest? Judging from the photographs, this stone still has somewhat of an olive color like the other Charnley Forest stones. Like Ron, I have to ask, where do you find these?
