Hi I might have some Thurigians and etchers in my collections but also slates but all without labels, what are the difference between etcher and Thurigian I seen in one comment you sent a comment to RUclips that Thurigian have a certain smell could you describe in the best way what the smell should be different from normal piece of slate,
All Eschers are Thuringians. Meaning they all came from mines in Thruingia Germany. However, not all Thuringians are Eschers. What separates them is the label really. Escher mined stones, and labeled them. If the label exists, it proves provenance. No label, no guarantee the stone is an Escher, but it could be a Thuringian. Regarding the smell, IMO Eschers/Thuringians do have a smell that is different from other slates. When slurried, they have a muddy, earthy odor.
Nice collection.
