This one meets all the requirements for what it is supposed to be; soapstone, decorated with a carved band parallel to the edge, plano-convex, hole is beveled, the rim has a small groove so that it can be used as a top or bottom whorl. It measures18mm high, 30 mm in diameter, and with an 8mm diameter hole. It fits nicely on several of my spindle sticks. Originally it would have been secured with some linen thread and beeswax, I'm using a small, clear hair elastic. It could be pushed on the stick hard enough to keep it from slipping, but that would probably scratch the spindle stick.
