Here are more pics from Bushdoctor on Ilrasoio where some of the Coticules from the lot are shown....
The ones who took part at the meeting already had the nice possibility either to see those nice stones or buy them ;-)

Way cool. Interesting to see the difference between the storage facility at Ardennes now as opposed to 9 years ago when Bart posted the photos from his visit ;

Drooling and slightly envious!
Just wanted to add it here because it fits well to some of the Old Rock stones....
Thats an extract from the Schleifmittel Aktiengesellschaft (SAG) from 1930. Here we have some prices of Old Rock stones glued or natural grown...even if they were sold in dozend (12 pieces) i think for 1930 the prices were already quite expensive for those Quality stones.
Here is the actual todays value based on the official calculation factor which is based on the year 2000:
1 Reichsmark (1924–1936) = 3,32 Euro (6,49 Deutsche Mark), is actually 6,65€ (2015)
12" stones = 800 RM : 12 pieces = 66,66RM
1 Piece 66,66 RM*6,65€ = 443€
And ohhh my gosh, check the 12inches with 6,5cm width....thats 2,41KG per Stone....
