Thread: New stone ID please

Hello again, I won this on Ebay, at first I bid for a coticule, but it seems to be some kind of different stone.Is 6 6/8 long, 1 1/2 wide,very soft,easy to lap,slurry is orange and smell like mud,not like a coticule.I try it with a Henkels, with slurry is give a nice feedback like a fast coticule,but the slurry is same color not dark even after 200 X strokes.The edge is very keen,HHT1
I did not shave yet.What can be? I have few coticule, this is not a coticule for sure,at least not one I know. And the smell is a very distinct mud smell.Is look like is glued on a piece of slate.
Thank you for your inputs.
Regards
Livio

Looks like a coti to me,I've seen cotis with red in them before.

That's a freaky looking Coticule. Reglued to it's BBW backing?

What a cool looking coticule. All kinds of figure and "rose blooms". congrats to you.

So is a coticule? Why orange slurry, and the mud smell. Is for sure glued on slate, I don't see any BBW. Thank you again gents, I will treat the stone like a coticule, see what happened.

I'd say that is a coticule, probably the most unusual one I have seen. Some are very slow cutters and fine polishers. I have had a green one where the slurry never changed colour.

It's a Jefferson Airplane Coticule from the 1960s Vein. LOL

Go ask Alice.

Yeah, definitely a coticule. I have one that smells really sweet, and others with no scent at all. You're getting orange slurry from those psychedelic rose blooms, I bet. Heaps-o-garnets!
