Thread: "yellowstone" collection

First time I post a pic of most of my yellow stones. I know I have one or two I can't find right now. Happy Easter everyone!

Another pic,
The only stone I am after now is a jnat kiita with crow patterns.

That's an amazing looking collection. I only have two Jnats that work well for me. Having gone down the rabbit hole for razors, brushes, and soaps, I need to stop looking at these kinds of posts.

Beautiful collection! You can never have too many stones

Thank you evnpar and basil! basil we are definately of the same mind! Lol! I love finding old stones and figuering them out. Trying to squeeze all that I can from them. Then when you find a jewel treasure it by putting it to use.

toro - what in the heck is that massive rock in the far upper right?! is it as large as it looks? makes all the others look like tiny.

Haha yes I agree. I used to have about 10 cotis. Got rid of all but three that I liked the most.

You know whats funny, that stones weighs a little over 10 pounds. I had to purchase it because my original stone is stuck in Mexico because it weighs in at 57 pounds and is crazy expensive to ship and I can't bring it on the airplane because it is over the 50 pound weight limit. I started a thread about it but have not been able to get it in my pessession. So I purchased the 10 pounder just so I could test it out.

It is from Oaxaca, Mexico but the guy I purchased it from does not ship to the U.S. only the domestic market.
It is a nice looking and performing stone. To be honest it is like a soft grade Washita, in that it can be like a 1kish(150 W/D SIC) on the bottom end and if you finish it on a 600 W/D SIC sand paper it can go to 4kish. For its size and price it is hard to beat. I paid 20 dollars for that one, no joke.

Now what about few close pics of the left upper corner Hatanaka Looks pretty nice

How much would it be to cut off 8 pounds?

It would still last a long time!
