That's an idea. This would work best with an actual wet saw stone/tile cutter (which I don't have). The name that escapes you is a "cotigura" slurry stone. Which is really just a made up name, a take off or amalgamation of the japanese nagura stone and the coticule. The cotiguras go for approx $18.
However.............my personal experience with cotigura slurry on a yellow coticule has not been favorable. It's too harsh on the edge and gives me negative return at that polishing stage. I only use water on my coticules. So, I don't know if there would be a market for cotiguras enough to spend the time cutting an old stone up. I could see cutting up an old natural Belgian Blue/Yellow Coticule stone into combo slurry stones. That would be cooler and I don't recall if that's been done.
