To be honest, I forgot all about this hone. I set an auto bid the other night and ended up winning it. What do you guys think? I figured most eschers were going over $300 so I set it a few bucks over. I wasn't expecting to win it.

After searching other threads...I see that the dark blue eschers starting model. Anyone have any info? I'll provide more info after I receive it.
Congratulations. Great buy. Enjoy using it.Quote:

Should be a good one. I only have a dark blue and it gives a great edge.
Thanks...that's reassuring. I don't see much posted about the dark blue stones. It seems the yellow/green are the top of the line eschers. Plus sham giving it a thumbs up always helps.Quote:

I had watched that one myself...good find! You will be pleased...
Thanks. I was actually looking at a y/g one in the buy it now section that was 400 plus. Is there that much difference between the y/g and the dark blue? Is the y/g worth $175 more? I know this is a very subjective question considering not all natural stones are the same. Then there is size, condition, etc.Quote:

The soft YG just feels completely different to the stroke than the Dark blue and they cut differently but they're both Eschers and wonderful.
have fun with em!
