    OK - that's clear enough for me! It was just Ian saying "...oh that's the thuri I sold you..." or words to that effect that threw me.

    I think what you have to do is take that stone outside and get a good, crisp picture of it in normal daylight, so we can see what colour it really is. Also take some pics of the sides and ends well-lit. I thought I could just see some fissures and lamination lines in some of your recent pics, but couldn't be sure.

    When you say it was quite hard to lap, have you ever lapped a CF before to compare it to? If it needed any significant lapping we are talking about hours of hard slog.

    Regards,
    Neil

    I would like to see pics taken outside w/ light illuminating it too. Anyone ever see the movie 2001 w/ the monolith? Thats what a pic will look like of a darker stone taken indoors :-(

    I doubt it is a Charnley. We've been through this. If it was sold to you as a Thurry, then the chances are it is a Thurry. End of.

    Charnleys have the slightest degree of translucency to the surface as though the markings have a third dimension to them.

    You need to hone on it and see what it can do.

    Jimmy - Ian's thuringian is on the right in the upright pics and underneath in the horizontal pics, right?

    Still doesn't look like a CF to me. Have you honed a razor on both stones? Does the one you think is a CF get a better edge than the known thuringian?

    If you haven't done so already, lap the thuringian a bit - does it appear to be softer than the other stone and easier to lap?

    Regards,
    Neil

    If the dark one is a Thuringian I think the other one might be some kind of slate, but definately not a Charnley Forest, because the stone looks opaque. I hope I'm wrong though.
