    I found an artist's rendering. Not the real deal, unfortunately.

Do frictionite stones have sedimentary layers on the sides and produce a slurry?
    frictionites are barber hone size, since that is what they are, and have two distinct sides. The colors blend a bit where they join but no resemblance to sedimentary layers.
    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    Sight unseen I vote No on the "is this a coticule?" thing. The really weird side of me hopes I am wrong though....

    Coticules do not produce greyish black slurry without steel.

    Right,

    If you rub a slurry stone or a DMT on the hone does it create white slurry? A coticule will make white slurry no matter when it was quarried, it should only turn grey from the razor's steel.

    Well Russhi

    You got us all lathered up over your mystery stone and still no photos.

    That's like singing happy birthday to me and then telling me there will be no cake............

    I know, I should have qualified. When I wrote 'steel' I did mean razor...

    I'll be equally pedantic and say when using a DMT to flatten a coticule, it is the diamonds that touch said hone in any event.

    I have a Pike coticule that says Made in US on the box, but not stamped on the hone itself. In fact, it is a BBW glued to a coticule, so I guess the box really should say (since this thread seems to be pandering to the pedant) "Glued in US".
