Looks like a Y/G to me, nice score!

you can consider yourself extremely lucky that no one really caught the fact that it was a y/g, or the price would be at least double what you payed.
Enjoy the rock.

That just made my day. Double what I paid....

would be in the doghouse for a month if I bid that much.

A lovely Escher indeed, in a size I'm very fond of. Well played, Sir.

Just an update. Did not get a chance to use the stone until recently as I have had a bad case of RAD and too many razors in the rotation.

I have been using a quarter grind Le Grelot I got from Martin more than my other razors and it was starting to pull & tug, when CrO2 did not refresh the edge to my satisfaction I decided to whip out the Escher, slurry and about 10 laps.

It left an amazing edge and the shave was awesome

Here's mine, they are nearly identical as far as honing, the narrow one is labeled yellow/green, the larger one doesn't say but is slightly darker. Maybe this will help with the color id of yours

Thanks for the photo comparison. Mine is like the narrower stone, definitely a Yellow/Green.
