Anyone with knowledge of coticules willing to hazard a guess as to vein of this stone.
Feels and sounds quite gritty when honing. Seems to self slurry very slightly, but no visible swarf so far. Nice creamy yellow colour.

Oops. Doubled images.
Looks awesome whatever it is!
Fixed. :)Quote:

Looks like my La Nouvelle, very slow on just water, very fast on slurry :)
Whatever it is. It gives a lovely and sharp edge. Tend to use it purely with water after coti slurry on bbw then bbw slurry diluting down on bbw.
