Yes, the UK auction. Are there newer CFs? I read somewhere that the green colored are the newer, and they were less fine and slower from the older ones, so I suppose the blue ones were the older ones. I think this stone comes from Wales, and the label seems old. I will take some pictures when it arrives.

The Grecian was in my watchlist too and I was going to start a thread on it but I'll let you do that now since you bought it. To me it looks like the exact same type of stone we've been discussing in this thread. This of course doesn't mean all of these are Grecians because it could just be a brandname like the Douglas Oilstone.

You can start a thread about them, and when I receive it, i can add my pictures. I don't think it's a brand name, if it's not a different stone, it would be more like a subcategory of another stone. I have seen price catalogs from old companies, and they have it as a different stone, like Charnley forest and Turkish oilstones, without brands. I don't think it looks like this one, its color is more like olive oil yellow-green, and the speckles are more subtle. This pattern is somewhat common with many UK stones, but they re not all of them the same kind. When it arrives i will take a closer look.

Memorael, was this the stone you were referring to?
