    The dimensions are not like any escher or hohenzollern I've had. With the new pix it doesn't look to be a thuringan either. Mackie's certainly is a dead ringer.

    I know someone who knows what the stone really is.
    But unfortunately he's not talking.

    I slurried it up with my worn DMT. Sorry for my photos!. It took on a light gray as wet and dries to a white powder. It is not gritty whatsoever and as dried, feels like baby powder in hand. Wants to stick to fingers. Very powdery. I did take a razor previously finished on it and tried with the slurry. Oh yes, big difference. I thinned the slurry, gradually, until none and finished it again!

    I feel the killer has been Identified. A zombie gnome!

    Darl and I are apparantly too easily entertained!
