Thread: Could this be an Escher/thuringian stone?

FWIW, it is really hard to tell from a photo. Even in person unless you have a labeled stone to compare it to it is hard with the Eschers that are lighter then a dark blue. Your stone could be a blue/green or a yellow/green to my eye.

I spoke to about the best honer in the business about the performance differences in the various colors of the Eschers and he said that while there are differences they are subtle. He stayed with the blue/green. I know other guys find the yellow/green to be the cat's whiskers.

Of mine I have found that what he said was right. They are all good and the differences are subtle so you made out real good if you want it to hone with. If you don't have a slurry stone one of those pocket sized DMT extra fine diamond plate sharpeners will work well.
