I have many brownish Pink tiger striped coti's, I'll have to post pics. When I sold them, I always kept the interesting ones for myself.

The middle pic shows the pink hybrid coti (Thanks Jimmy!) both sides next to a regular 8x3 boxed from Howard. Howard always had the best Coticules. That one was typical of what you got. Not sure what vein it is, but it's beautiful. I bought that well before vein names became popular. As a matter of fact, that's my first Coticule. The top pic, far right is a Kosher Dressante...Maurice used to write the vein names on the stones for me....And yes, You can see a hint of an Escher next to the Ducks up top....

If your wondering, my go to Coti is at the bottom, 4th in from the left, awesome all around stone, fast, Dressante, has a small vein in it that does not interfere with honing...It's also got a lot of pink in it....

With Coticules, I love hand held honing. I like the feedback I get. 8x3's are great, wonderful bench hones, but a 6x2 or 7x1.5 can be held while your honing.

Beautiful stones don't mind my drooling!!!!
