just in my green coti with a green slurry stone
sorry forgot to show pics of the stone wet enjoy
this is one nice looking stone, let us know how you like the edges off it.
I'm green with envy ! :tu Nice rock, enjoy it.
I have a similar stone. It is a bit slower than other coticules I have used and the final edge seems shaper too(not necessarily smoother though)
yeah thats what i was hoping for i talked to the guy that sold me the stone the green coti are slow with water and medium with slurry their harder so they should produce a sharper edge with a good amount of comfort at least thats what i hopeQuote:

i have a thick beard so i like a sharp edge i really dont like to classify stones and what they can do by color but with coti it seems to work well green or grey slow pink or redish fast lite yellow is mello now with arks you cant classify by color way different animal imho
Looks like a La Verte. Nice stone! Hmm.....I'm missing a green coti from my collection....
well while i'm at it i took two pics of the rest of my coti family
Nice stone, you got a big-un. I don't use mine though, it's just nice to look at... see..

this stone is pretty slow but really fine. hope you could see on pictures that its green
I noticed, that among coti stones green ones are hardest. What do you think?
Here is some more eye candy for you coticule lovers ..... looking at the second photo, the far left looks pinkish in the photos but it is egg shell white and a great fast fine natural. The next is a slate backed La Veinette from Ardennes with a creamy off white color. Third in line is a green natural that came to me from South Africa by way of Belgium. The internet makes for a small world. This stone is hard and slow with water only but sharpens well with slurry and finishesAttachment 67876Attachment 67877 to a fine edge on water only. A huge natural with a yellowish hue and it is medium fast and fine. Finally the big daddy is pink/yellow natural and as one would expect it is fast but still leaves a fine edge. Enjoy.
Very beautiful stones. Recently I've lockated a very rear (from my point of view) coti - red-brownish color. It is in box and rather big, at least 100 years old, may be more. But the seller put such a price, that we bargain for last ten days. Money is one thing, I can imagine my disappointment if the stone is not good.
That is the dillema. I would have a hard time resisting such a stone but you don't kow what you have until you put a razor on it. If you get it please post photos.Quote:

I have nothing against bout stones. I have many more coticules in various sizes. I just showed those for the variations in colors and sizes. I am done with buying them though. Believe it or not I finally have enough. :pQuote:

yeah i think the green stones are slow ( and hard ) but leave a sharper edge that red and brownish stone should be a fast cutter i never met a coti i didnt like they are great stonesQuote:

I bet Jimmy recognize's it...The last picture, far right stone is a Dressante, my favorite, the workhorse, it has very nice coloration to it, and cuts great. I use it with the 8x3 in the far left, That's a La Nouvelle. It's a finisher.
You have a wonderful collection of coti. And the pink one is really something. Today I kept in my hands almost brown stone, but could not buy it. Who knows, may be after a couple of weeks the seller will be more reasonable.
wow zib that pure pink and striped pink cotis are beautiful
