A Coticule on black unusable slate is a natural hone.
A BBW is a natural hone.
A natural Coticule BBW combo is a stone where the Coticule and BBW parts are naturally bonded together, no glue used (no natural or synthetic glue used)!
This is how we look at it but I do understand that not everybody has the same interpretation.

They are natural hones, just not a natural combo!

This is a "nature or nurture" debate, for sure.

Just bought the "nurtural hone" on ebay, cause it looked lonely to me being controversial. Since Its my first "coticule" I will try my best to describe this un-natural phenomena of natural counterparts if anyone is interested. The "blue" puzzled me too.. looks rough, un-lapped. But I was more interested in the yellow/cream part of it anyway. The size seemed right at 7" long, I can live with the width. I'm sure I will have plenty questions!
