Thanks.
(In my best Ed McMahon) "You are correct sir!" They are not cracks. Natural veins where some material was injected into the creamy yellow coticule layer.
Three layers - the creamy coticule top layer, the coarse garnet rich middle layer, and the bottom, purple BBW layer. The top layer is not pure, it seems to have much finer garnets scattered throughout the matrix. This is a natural combo stone. No horse parts anywhere.
Thanks, I thought I read where it was manganese. I think there are several things there in the veins. If you look at the magnified shot, there are several different colors. May be the same material not sure.
"You are correct sir!" (Takes another drink). The yellow layer is a lovely - pastel color. I have another coticule and that layer is not the same shade of yellow. It is a fast cutter.
Please post your pic of the coticule that you speak of.
That is interesting. Comparable to a thuringian. I have a MST thuringian and it is very fine. I do not have the experience to decide which is finer, but I will say that they are very close. I do not own an Escher... yet.
I will post pics of my other rocks in another thread. Just got my first J-Nat several days ago. Yet, I feel a certain itch to explore the fine rocks of Old Germany.

Beautiful looking stone. Very fluid looking cross section.

What a beautiful coticule! And that case is a wonderful bonus.
I look forward to performance updates.
And if you ever want to sell it, drop me a line...
