Thread: Could this be an Escher/thuringian stone?

How can one tell visually the difference between say a carbondrum (sp?) and a Thuringen were I to run into one at an antique store? Are there strata lines visible at the ends, colors to look for, or some other identifying characteristics?

Thanks!!

I forget which supreme court justice said of pornography, I can't describe it but I know it when I see it". Or words to that effect. All I can say is look at the photos of Eschers & Thuringans on the forum. If you do a search with that as your keyword you will see photos. It is hard for me to describe them other then to say that they look like a fine light gray to dark blue finishing stone.
