Eye-catching only!
Want to share this beautiful eyecatcher!
For those who know….
Many thanks for this very special stone to André from Ardennes! Hope to see you again next year – “underground”!

Even for me not knowing a thing about naturals it is eye catching.

The stone is 'eye-catching', but the apparatus in the background is even moreso to my eyes .........
Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

The stone actually is a natural combo! - even not a very thick one. The dimensions are 16 ¾ inches long, 3 inches wide and 0.5 inch thick.
And to be honest - when Ardennes cut and lapped it years ago, it turns out, that the blue section you see on the right/upper part of the hone in the first picture consists mainly of quartz (like it is sometimes the case for the hybrid side of the Les Latneuses). So they decided not to sell it as a hone.
I just gave it a try and found out, that, if you leave the last 5 inch with the blue area untouched it could well serve as a good hone!Last edited by hatzicho; 10-05-2015 at 05:16 PM.

Dear lord, what is that, 10x40 cm (of which 10x30 cm usable)?
I have never seen a combination mottled Les Latneuses, by the way.
