I do actually have one with a warped spine.

Nice stone. I actually prefer to hone on smaller sized hones. Seems easier to me.

It's already in the mail so I can't check but I think it's dark grey. I also don't think there's a correlation between the colour of an Escher or Thuringian and the colour of the label. Some of the little Thuringians even have pink labels

It is a fine stone so I think you will enjoy it

Hey Piet, that looks like the PHIG I sold you last month,,,,,,Whats up ???

You'll love that little hone. I am regretful that I sold mine!!

I have one of those little suckers,just forgot where I put it

Just want to confirm what Piet already said. There is no correlation between colour of the label and colour of the stone. If Escher stated the colour on the stones they always did it with a special label at the end of the stones. You can find a lot of examples for this here at SRP. Normally there is no information about colour on the main label.

The only Thuringian company that -according to my present knowledge- stated the coulor of the stones as a quality sign directly on the main label, was C.F. Luthardt. Here is one example for a "blue" stated quality:

Are the wooden boxes different from different makers / resellers?
Could an unmarked box be used to ID a stone?
