Thread: unknown monster

Today in the mail:
An unknown monster hone from my brother.








Since he's quite a brain it should be worth lapping.
Its a bit rough for a bench stone and a bit heavy for a hand held, LOL (1300 g / ~3 lb)
Yet have to ask him what it is exactly, but I think its some kind of a thuringian. (He lives 60km south of the old mines)

That was my thought at first glance going by the color. Hard to gauge the surface from the photos. Once you lap it and try it you'll know what you have. Nice hunk of rock though.

interesting . how it brakes in corners? it has been cut?

Sham it looks like hewn rather.
One side was quite flat. Already had lots of sport on it but there's still a lot to be taken off.
Thank you Jimmy!

Color wise, it certainly looks like a Thuringian. I've never seen one rough hewn like that though. That seems to be more the style of the Japanese hones. I suppose you could paint some kanji on it to add to the character!

Hope it works well, as it's a beauty to look at! I dread to think what shipping cost!
