Thread: Help id this stones

Could you help me id this stones? the blue side had a few white dots.

im no expert but i would be fairly sure the white and blue stone is a couticle (might be incorrect spelling). as for the others im affraid im not sure.

about half way down this page are some pics of stones like your white and blue one.

Razor Hones

the seller said that it was a arkansas stone, but she also said she had no idea about stones.

One more thing, if its a coticule, how hard is it to lap the white side? i saw the stone and it had a inwards curve of at least 1mm on the deepest part. maybe a little bit more.

hard to tell what the stones are, IMHO you have to pal and clean them up before taking any pics. After they are clean chow them to us.
For not none of them looks like coticule or BBW.

I have to agree about cleaning. Also try to notice how easy was it to lap it, colour and consistency of slurry and so on. Then show new pictures with details for best possibility to id it.

Swarf pattern on the jellow one does not look coticule-like to me. Speckled swarf pattern is what you see on an Arkansas hone, more streaky pattern on a coticule as far as my experience goes. Coticule is easy to lap, Arkansas isn't.

thats not a coticule it looks to be man made stone (both stones) probably a silicon carbide or aluminum oxide stone (combo stone) you wont get slurry off of either one .

Those are a blue belgian and a natural combination blue/yellow belgian. Very well used. The language is Spanish as you already know. Don't know what that brown thing is next to the combo. You can lap those both back into beautiful condition.

thanks for the help guys, and im sorry for not cleaning the stones before taking the pictures.
Howard: that brown thing next to the combo in the second picture is the same stone showed at the bottom of the first pic.
