Hi Sebastian,
nice to have you here at SRP.
Well, if you got the coti from Ardennes and they have not explicitely specified the layer, I would suppose, it is most probably either La Grise or La Verte, tending more to La Verte from the pictures. But only Maurice at Ardennes can give you a real qualified answer. Was it listed in the remarkable, the standard or the selected stones?

Congratulation, really beautiful stone. Mine looks a little different in magnification, but that is certainly normal for natural stones. Unfortunately my magnifying glass does not seem to have 40x, although it is marked so.
My stone is not very fast, but I like that. The discription on coticule.be (the coticule vault, bout No 102) matches exactly with my stone. I have minimal autoslurry (can barely seen) and slowly with water (almost glassy, but pleasant). Very good polisher.Last edited by Sebrazor; 02-09-2016 at 10:07 PM.

Short addendum: I was wrong, no autoslurry. After the 1200 w/d, I could see little slurry for a long time in the water with a flashlight, when it went on the steel with fast strokes. Meanwhile not anymore.
Interesting, these blue-grey areas seems to be a little softer then the yellow areas. I tested it with a "scratch test" with a needle. It is not hard quartz I think.

Hi Peter,
many thanks, I am also pleased to be here. Cool high informative forum here.
I bought the coticule not directly from Ardennes, got it from ebay, open_razor from poland sold it. After a request by Ardennes I was told,
"Last year all of our stones are coming from 1 vein from our new mine in Regné.
Those grey-ish lines are typical and have no influence on the honingproces."
But what vein was not mentioned.
Anyway, I have honed a sheffield razor today and am thrilled. I am pleased to have bought the coticule.
With best regards, SebastianLast edited by Sebrazor; 02-05-2016 at 12:16 AM.

I forgot to mention, my coticule and slurrystone are both selected.
Here are some pictures of my two Llyn Idwal. Unfortunately not lapped flat ready yet, but visually very beautiful I think. The big one seems to be super fine, very smooth surface. The small one feels slightly velvety and is a bit brighter. It looks more to the contrary from the pictures. (pic 2 small, pic 3 big). Will lap flat and test it soon. How to flatten best such extremely hard stones?

Got some more infos about my new Coticule.
Mrs Celis wrode to me:
"I am happy that you like the stone!
No, the vein is not La grise or La Verte, Those veins are coming from our quarry in La Preu.
In Regné we are mining Les Pétas. (much better as La Verte for razors)"
That could really be true. My sheffield shaves brilliant after this Coti and ca. 40 laps on a leather strop. Epic finisher and currently still available.
