Well here is my humble contribution! It's a little Celebrated Water Hone which, as I understand it, was manufactured by Escher. Now I know that it's not the Yellow Label one with the chalice, but I have to believe that it's made by the same manufacturer as it's almost identical in every way (wording & all) to the one with the chalice/Escher logo. What do you think??
ps-It's a joy to use!!

When the second natural stone you buy is a 7x1.5 dark blue Escher with a scrap of label left - and you got it for less than 3 dollars... But you don't know anything about Eschers or labels so you scrub the label off and lop a 1 inch slurry stone off of it.
I bought a 5x2.5 YG Escher around 2011. It had been dropped on one corner and had a few little fissures running through it. I lapped and lapped and LAPPED that damn thing trying to get past them until there was only about 1/4” left. At that point I surrendered and cut it up for slurry stones and sold them on eBay. We’ve all done it. There should be a thread titled dumb things we did as a newb.When the second natural stone you buy is a 7x1.5 dark blue Escher with a scrap of label left - and you got it for less than 3 dollars...

Not sure why but the one BD NOS that Sebastian/RLS has has the same configuration. Color and lid labels in German but stone label in English.Outstanding stone and beauty labels. Interesting that the stone label is in English but the end is German. Beautiful BD
