Never seen a Thuri look like that.

You can use glycerin also. I have a diluted batch made up for certain stones ie. DB & B Escher's. I believe on some the old literature and labels it was called sperm as a liquid to use on some stones. I really don't know what they meant by sperm but glycerin is just as slick. Maybe they meant spit? Hock a lugee on your Escher. Yuck!!! lol! Would also be very slimy though.
Remember, a little glycerin goes a very long way undiluted.

Sperm = whale oil. Almost universally from the sperm whale, e.g.: Moby Dick.

What do you think it might be? The seller called it a blue-green thuringan but didn't make promises.

I've seen these also, there's a guy selling them on his website on the net. I can't think of it though.
Here it is:

To OP, looks like you can find a similar slurry stone there too.

They are usually uniform in shape like a quarried stone and I haven't seen one with white lines or inclusions through it like that before. The slurry looks right colour but what did you use to create it? Not sure what it is but might be worth starting a new thread and asking the rock hounds. Originally Posted by Clayglen

I also tell people, especially on Ebay, take it to a couple of barbers in your area. They will usually know what it is or most likely to be.

My first thought was Charnley forest, but that's too dark for one of those. I've no idea what you stumbled into there. I'm not saying it isn't a Thuri, but you've got to be real real careful with natural hones on ebay. Not too long ago there was a fellow that had a bunch of random hones shaped rocks up for sale that were obviously neither Thuringians or Coticules, but it goes without saying that's what they were all labeled as.
