    Thanks guys, I was nervous that it may have been glued because the BBW was gone. It's intriguing because it looks significantly different from my current (1x4ish) bbw and my newer coti. I'm hoping I can make some time before the meet to try it out. Might have to wait until Saturday to EDIT:hone it out.

    An interesting note about this stone. If you look reeeaaaaally carefully, you can notice a dark edge to the honing surface of the coti side. Especially in the top right corner of the last photo. When lapping, I noticed it was convexly dished as opposed to the typical concave. I will probably lap this completely flat, but will probably leave some color of the glue on the sides. Cause history reasons and I'm a dork.

    Also, what is nearly impossible to photo, is the nearly holographic swirls on the face of the coti. It is hard to see by eye even. Will try day light.
