    Default slate or bbw

    Hey, I wanted to show you guys some pictures of a new coti I bought,
    it states to be a glued coti + slate.
    It got myself a nice small one, pretty cheap, 100 mm by 30 mm or about 4 inch by 1 inch and with a free slurry stone.
    I haven't seen too many coticules and haven't really looked into slate <-> bbw difference, so any input would be appreciated
    slurry looks somewhat purple and milky afaict

    thank you

    the slurry is definitely BBW slurry,How does it cut on slurry, slow or fast?

    Nice stone, enjoy!

    +1 on it being a BBW, you can see the purple/bluish slurry that gives it away, and the leathery grain on the BBW.

    Whenever a coticule is bound to a piece of slate, the two pieces will be bound by a straight line. The boundary between the two sides of your stone is certainly not a straight line, indicating that yours is a natural coticule that was cut from the boundary of two distinct veins of rock--the coticule and the bbw.

    when I look closely I can see sort of a line at places where it could be glued but on other places it's totally not there, but it does have a weird shape to be glued,
    either way, looks like I got lucky and a got a nice hone out of it

    Could it have been one that was a natural combo that came apart then needed to be glued back? That would be a tough contour to fit.

    The boundary is curved, might be hard to tell on a CRT because that monitor will make anything look curved
