It have definitely some sparkles but not a lot. They are all different and maybe my coticule that is not so fine. I will get some more soon anyway and more Yellow Lakes too with labels and will give a better test :)

It is hard to find YL with labels. I have one (from Salmensand even that bone does not say that bit is YL. I do have other YL even from Salmens an have to say that grit can quite vary.
