Thread: What natural stone creates a brownish green slurry?

CF is blue green in color and releases whitish slurry.

How about Lyn Idwall? Anything finer than a coticule is what I'm shooting for here. lol.

Very interesting stones. Where did you buy them?
Definitely no CF IMO.

The one with the red tiger stripes is beautiful I think. The pics don't really show it as well as I can see it. They came from Canada.

The are soft, easy to lap, and have chalk like slurry. Pale green. One showing black hairlines type inclusions, while the other has red stripes and black spots. Really cool rocks!

Well Lynn Idwall and CF are very hard stones so you say these are soft stones?right?

Definitely not LI or CF.

Look and sound more like some sort of coticule to me.

Yeah, they're soft by my estimate. I can chamfer the edges easily with 400 wetdry. I kinda tapped on them with my fingernail, trying to hear density vs. a coticule. But ofc that's really not very scientific. The sound was more dull, but completely worthless AFAIC. The slurry did look a little coticule like too. Could just be some weird green coticules huh? The honing stroke sounds more similar to DT. This could be the difference between a backed and unbacked coticule I'm hearing though. They definitely react to wetdry like coticule and BBW. Very easily shaped. The smell is not similar to coticule, but it could be the plaster I'm smelling. Well that's neat anyhow. A pair of green coticules. Interesting to me! Now I can start a "show us your green coticules" thread! :P

could it be a La Verte coticule
