Sebastian requested pictures of my "Brown" stone. As far as I know there's no real confirmation as to exactly where these were mined, but lots of people refer to them as Vosgienne or Pierre La Lune stones when they are lucky enough to have one that came with a label. Often they have wide chamfers and like Thuris have one unlapped side.
I know a fair number of members have at least one, but I thought it would be good to have a running photo album as has been done with coticules, JNats, and Thuris.
The top one I got from Sham a few years back.. It is a better finisher and is at least on par with my thuringians on water, but I can use it with soapy water so perhaps that helps. The bottom one I bought as part of an eBay lot thinking it was BBW, but as both sides are lapped on one side you can see the raw cuts and their similarities, so I was fortunate on that one, as it's definitely not BBW.
Enjoy
