    Almost always you will find a coticule and BBW combined together either as a natural pair of rock veins cut out together or else glued together. This is because the coticule by itself is quite fragile and needs a stronger substrate to support it. You might want to either consider gluing them together and cutting them to matching shapes, or else glue the coticule to something else like a wood base, or else just be VERY careful with it. Of course, you should do that anyway!

    +1 to gluing something to that Coticule. They are very fragile, or unstable in that condition. They were originally backed with BBW, and later with slate...but anything will do, even wood....and a good two part epoxy...

    +1 on that. I do have one coti on it's own but it is very thick and narrow. The gluing would make it too cumbersome to use and I keep it protected in the original box for all time when not in use.
