    Looks more like a synthetic barber hone that was cast like that.

    A new one on me. I've never seen a Swaty that color and especially with that style of inscription. Almost looks like it was scratched in by someone ? Not sure what type of stone that is.
    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    That one is confusing. The side view could be either natural or synthetic.
    The inscription does not seem stamped but rather scratched in.
    The description, Belgium blue & white, I have never heard before.

    Once you receive it lap it and post some pics.

    I would love to see pics of it cleaned up. I've never seen a Swaty like that either. Looks like something is carved in after the word Swaty as well, I can't make it out..Is it a Roman Numeral II ? Maybe someone messing around?

    I look forward to the cleaned up pics too. If it weren't for the Swaty marking I'd say probably natural. The inscription looks a little crude though, so zib could well be right.
