Opinions on what kind of stones these were?
I didn't win.
I didn't really try because I wasn't sure what they were.
I know the one was originally glued to something and figured the other for carborundum.
Problem with the glue one is that it could have been the slate off a coticule !!
Ideas? anyone?

Could the smaller one be an escher? Looks like the remains of a label on the back and the lenght and width are about right, but it also looks a little thin.

if you invert the colors you can clearly see a hex pattern, or what looks like one.
I've heard mention of beeswax being used to glue stuff like coticules.
Maybe place a thin bit between the stones while hot-ish?
I'm sure it had been glued to something.
Question is WHAT ???

Ah, if it looks like it's been glued then it might be a belgian blue. I had a blue that had glue on one side, but it didn't come with the coticule either.
