A monkey stole my Escher:

I got a smaller replacement. At least lapping it was easier:

Must be the lighting Jon it looks kinda yellow green in the pics

I will try and get some real light pics. I do know that the "yellow green" side is softer than the other and I like the feedback better.

Sorry for digging up an old thread here, but just wanted to show my latest eBay purchase, a little boxed droescher. It cleaned up well (sorry no pics before lapping I was excited) and seems like a nice little stone. I was a bit worried it had been used with oil as there was some gunk on the surface of the stone but I washed it off with soap and lapped it and water isn't beading at all on top so I hope I'm ok there. The slurry stone isn't original, I cut it from a broken thuri I had.

David, that is awesome! I love the box. I need to start building some boxes for all of my stones.

David · Feb 14, 2014

Jeremy, thanks! I'd like to have boxes for my other stones as well. It looks relatively simple to make. I may give one a shot sometime soon.

Very cool Thuri. Love the box too. Nice score!

I love a well done Thuri edge.

I never see any bout shaped thuringians except yours and one other very large collection. I assume you must live in Germany to find the odd cuts?

You`re right. I`am from Germany, i was in Sonneberg too, like some other guys, but they where faster than me.
I got that stones from the only real Thuri specialist here in germany, PM me for more info.

Love the irregular shaped stones a lot. They're awesome.
A blue-green parallelogram would be a very nice thing to find. Great stuff.
