Cool! That's a gorgeous stone if I do say so myself.
And thanks for all of the historical background and detective work. Very interesting.

As mentioned here is the last one i can show which could fit in the Term of a Vosgienne....but as mentioned its another "Monster".....it has a more brownish/bronze look, it has some red and green inclusions and its also very fine when used with oil or glycerin....
Actually Sharpchef has it for testing, i will also ask him if he can share some of his findings concerning this stone....
I just made a deal for this stone, i'm excited. My first Vos or possible french hone. I probably overpaid but it was less than they were asking and I really wanted it.
Great score! this stone looks very similar to my labeled la lune. The only difference is in size - mine is 5.5"x2.9." Other than that - identical! It is an excellent finisher, which I prefer sometimes to my finest Y/G Escher. Congratulations again!

Has your Stone a Stamp or Label ?
"Looks very similar to my labeled La Lune"
I'd say it does, lol. Although I don't think the depicted stone looks very similar to these that we think may be Vosgiennes. Maybe it's a bad picture?
imagine the chocolate coating on an ice cream bar on a stick. It's odd, but I would say it is the biggest tell of all.
No label, no stamp, and no experience with these stones but I think this is what we're talking about here?
I could get that lune that just sold for about $150 I guess a buyer didn't pay
It is pretty thin and beat up though so I'm probably going to pass. I wan a purple one anyway, or at least a full thickness one.
