Thread: Unusual Thuringian

Hello, I get this stone on Ebay, it is 7 x 1 1/2, medium soft, I am positive is a thuringian, but the face have striations, like a hybrid coticule. the slurry is white, the feeling when hone on, is like a harder stone.

Yes is a Cloudy Thuri similar to one that I have,tomorrow will take some pics of mine. I consider this stone a good finisher, like an Escher.

did you get this from Nibert67 ? I think i was bidding on it

nice grab =] hope it hones well for you

Thank you, is look like cloudy thuringians, it is a very fine stone. I get the stone with a lot of stones, not from Nibert67.

Looks a little bit like this one:



But these are not cloudy thuringians, these ones are called creamy thuringians

A thuringian is called cloudy when it has single spots or streaks of different colour that reminds on clouds. If different colors come together like somebody has mixed different colors in a bucket but has not mixed perfectly or not finished, the thuris are called creamy.

Well Livio yours could be really a mixture of both!

What give me some doubts is that you call the stone medium soft and think it feels like a hard stone. Thats not usual especially for this kind of stones which are really soft endfinishers.
On the other hand the foto showing the backside is very typical for a thuringian.

Try it and report on your honing experiences! Congrats on the stone.

It is definitely thuringian, it is very soft and fine, I just said is feel like harder, but is very soft.
But is not velvet soft like the Y/G I have. It is comparable with a blue thuringian. Thank you for your input.

You are right Hatzicho, my mistake is caused from the three reflected on the wet stone, I've think that was part of stone pattern, sorry.
