And after Using a Welsh slate, I would be hard pressed to justify spending that. But to each his own. Maybe one day I'll stumble across a coticule for a good price in an antique shop.
    Alex posted a jnat from a Japanese site that cost $30,000. There is definitely a line of diminishing return. You can get great jnats for the same price, and cheaper, than coticules. If you email garret he will explain all of that. He has stones for any budget and use. My newest jnat cost more than I'd ever imagine spending on a rock, but it performs better than any other rock I've bought, and I've bought many. So in my mind it makes sense one really good rock is better than 10 mediocre ones.
