Thread: identification of unknown stone

bonsoir à tous
ça fait que j'ai lu votre forum et je incrit il peu
mais j'ai besoin d'identifier la pierre comme en France et coticule être nous ne pouvons être sûrs a son origine
je pensais un coticule mais personne n'est sûr
de la suspension est très épaisse et très collante
que pensez-vous?
merci d'avance

I have two of them from France and I'm also not sure whether they're coticules or not.

Coti...but not really concerned about...

Something quite comparable here:

yes there is the chance that is not a coticule I post coticule.be and response

I'm not sure this is a Coticule. The surface does look like that lf a
dirt-covered Coticule, but it's the color of the slurry that causes doubt.
Normally, a dirty (or sometimes merely darkened through age) Coticule can be
cleaned with a kitchen pad (e.g. Scotch Brite). It should look pale
afterwards. Also the slurry should look milky pale, with only a slight hue,
not so mud-colored like in hour picture.

maybe it just needs a bit more cleaniing, or maybe it's just a sifferent type
of stone.

Best regards,

Doorsch, concerned your hones do what?

I think the stone in that R&S thread is different. In their French Thuri's thread there are similar stones. That thread is what made me doubt them being coticules

Sorry just had the wrong word in my mind...convinced that these are Cotis Piet...

I read all your link but hard to understand sometimes between my translator who says he wants to and abbreviation
but the common point of these stones is that origins would France

I had a coticule with a similar color. Does yours smell like oil? I wonder if it has been used with oil, causing the darker color slurry.

I had a similar stone from France as well, 7 X 1 1/2, and quite thick 1/2 to 5/8. No common backing either no sign of BBW. I fixed the stone to a wooden base, and sealed the sides and ends with beeswax, worked quite well.
Honestly i was positive mine was a coticule.

[QUOTE = robellison01; 1324476] J'ai eu une coticule avec une couleur similaire. Ne sent vôtre comme le pétrole? Je me demande si elle a été utilisée avec de l'huile, provoquant la suspension de couleur plus foncée. [/ QUOTE]

hello
no stone has no oil
the slurry is very thick it looks like the earth very wet sticky
the stone is very fine
