Thread: Thuringian Beautys

Heh, wouldn't it be funny if they actually had some capacitance!

BTW back on topic: Sebastian show us some more gorgeous stones!

(just kidding, sometimes they're stuck to my pants when I make the half mile walk through the woods from the public transit bus stop here - except I never see which plant they come off of)

I think you might be able to sell them to someone as "dried mini snails".

I figured out what they are. Bidens frondosa (Devil's Beggarticks): Minnesota Wildflowers

Here are mine but do you think that black is one





another

celui ???? Thuringe





Thuringia, one in question (much black firsthand), a moon because I'm gonna anyway hesitated whether a "moon" it is 22.5 x 3.7 x 2 cm

Very nice thuringians, Antoine.
The black one - could be a thuringian, but also something entirely else. Looks like a slate hone though. Whats a moon stone? Are you talking about the LaLune hones?

hello and thank you hatzicho
yes I am talking about lalune
what makes me say that it is can be a Thuringia is that it comes from the north of France a brabier practicing in the 1950s living on the border of Germany

The black one doesn't look like the typical LaLune/ Special stone which is gray has a very unique metallic shining. But LaLune also sold slate stones that are simply black.
Here is an example that is from the size and shape not a razor hone. But its a fine hone, useable for straights.



Also yours doesn't seem to be a typical razor hone size with a length of 9 inch but only 1.5'' thick.
How does it perform, is it comparable to the thuringian hones you have or more likely a LaLune?

I am familiar with lalune I have SEVERAL
but at that moment I had thought of it
Here are the entire photo when I put them in a situation

Haven't posted here for e while, but was just preparing this great cloudy thuringian:



It is really a beast, 9'' long and 3 3/8 ''wide by 1'' thick at the thickest point - weight 1.1 kg. Left natural on the backside:



Color is bluegreen, but with a real yellow hue within the stone.
