    Default Is any of these a Thuri?

    Hello,

    Hello all good people,

    I use these stones for quite long but I have never find out if one of them is Thuri or not. Maybe you can help me out with my question? Thank you for your help!

    The one with the dark round spots may be a WoA. I give stones 3 and 5 in the group pics the most chances of being Thuringians. Someone who is familiar with Thuringians may be able to identify them in person.

    I agree with Piet - one looks remarkably like a Water of Ayr, a finisher of somewhere around the equivalence of an 8k - 10k hone. The ones I have had have been nearer 10k. The dark spots are the identifiers:

    In some the spots are not as prominent or clearly defined, but you do find odd swirls and layerings in them, very subtle though.

    Regards,
    Neil

    Piet,

    from left side which one is WoA. I think stone number 4 and 1 has some spots.

    Very nice display of stones, i totally agree with everything thats been said and just wanted to ad that thuri's are notorious to have a milky white slurry.
