    Of course, I am not going to use this 10-inch-length Escher. My consciousness will not allow me to remove the stamps and to lap the stone. Let it be saved for the descendants. Due to mainaman with his marvelous video “Nagura Honing” I have been using J-nat. (Thank you, Stefan, I especially like “the socks of the master”). Although from time to time, it depends on my mood, I can work with Eschers.
    As for the price on these stones, it is a philosophical question. You have to pay for pleasure.

    well this is true, and it yours to do with as you wish, though I find more pleasure in using something for its intended purpose than looking at it. But not everyone is me I suppose. Enjoy :-)

    Often, when I see that someone has posted their latest acquisition, I'll joke about my jealousy and false anger over their good fortune. The truth is, I enjoy seeing them happy with what they've acquired and I admire them for having the means to seek out and obtain what makes them happy. I understand not actually using this beautiful stone, but it's Ruslan's hone, I would have equally as impressed if he had lapped it and put it to work. Congratulations on a sweet addition to your collection.

    Can't you lap and use the bottom side? That sounds like the best of both worlds to me.
