    Default Surprise

    Hi people just picked up this hone today with a woa stone as well,but this guy is my surprise,its the center stone and the other two are charnleys to compare with it may be a cf but i would like some ideas of what it could be if not. Its a beautiful stone with great patterns through it and its is green, a darker green than the other stones.

    Nice finds.
    i think you might have two cfs there.
    i have seen pictures of green ones.
    plus they tend to be long and narrow stones cause how the
    rocks are normally found.

    Seems like every time I think I am truly past my hone acquisition disorder someone comes along and posts pix of a fantastic find that gets the juices flowing again. The Charnleys are beautiful but the WOA lights my fire. Great find you have there.

    Nice finds. I never get lucky. I hit the flea markets, antique shops, etc...Nothing, Nada, Zip.
    I keep looking hoping one day will be my leap home, Ooops, wait, wrong line.
    We have assumed control !

    Here is the e bay listing pic the bigger stone is man made medium grit and the smaller stone is the little beauty in the middle of the above pics .From the pics on the bay i was thinking it was a turkish oil stone from the shape and you get a few of them in Aus but when i cleaned her up i found to my pleasure i was wrong,so are we saying its a CF or is there any other ideas out there?

    Nice score,WOA are always rare to find, the other one, I think, is a Dalmore Blue cut on the wrong way, usually was cut in different way and result to be like your on side.
    Nice stones anyway, enjoy it.

    Because of the middle green area and the veins I would think CF.

    I know that feeling. Yo going there, looking, hoping, feeding your expectations, cleaning it and again just onother CF. How do you say bummer politely?
