Thread: Lemurs Rocks!

I've got another unknown in the mail today, it cleaned up nicely and the ERN razor love it, it is as fine as my confirmed y/g Escher.
Some pics;



I've got more stones in the mail and around here in boxes, will post them here when I get around to it.

I forgot, size is around 18 x 3 x 2 cm and it was $11 incl freight.

What do you use to resurface them?

I took it to the Naniwa Ohmura 220 to get it cleaned up, you really have to watch your finger on that one...
Then DMT 220 and 325 to make sure it's dead flat and at last rubbing against another Escher to get the surface nice.

Nice stone !!!

For that kind of money beautiful hone. Someone got lucky.

Does it have a purplish cast to it, or is it just my monitor? If there is a purple cast it could be a slate - very hard to tell from the photos, though.

I must admit that the title of you post threw me! My mother once lived where there were lemurs, and they do indeed throw rocks and othe missiles at the unsuspecting!

Hey Lemur,

That's a nice looking stone. Looking at it and reading your description made me think of some older posts I had read about a Brown Escher/Thuringian stone. Several threads come up in the search function for "brown Escher". It just has that Thuringian look.

there is no known brown eschers or thurigians. Those examples was voisgenne stones.
Indeed this also to me looke like it has purplish cast, but its maybe just the light

It must be the photo/screens that gives any other color than grey, it's pure battleship gray with some faint streaks of lighter gray.
Have tried it on 4 razors now and it's gives a finer edge than the Escher but is a tad slower, otherwise they feel the same, butter smooth!
Top smaller hone is an yellow/green Escher for comparison.



Same but bigger pics here; http://i.imgur.com/UUmRzU0.jpg and http://i.imgur.com/s1oNr0p.jpg

Lemurs rock! I love when they go out and warm up in the morning sun!
