Well im assuming your "standard" is an vintage coticule,there are many named coticules like:
La grise
La dressante
La nouvelle veine
La veinette
La grosse Blanche
Les Latneuses
La verte
La veine aux clous
La petite Blanche.And others as well!!
Personally i never used a coticule for setting bevels, slow for bevels and wasting a lot of precious stone for a task that can be accomplished on an inexpensive synthetic stone. For finishing i had 3 coticule and found the edge to be nice and smooth but
always followed the coti with something else so for that reason i sold them all.And comparing this vein to that vein is no easy task
as being natural stone the variation from the same vein could be a lot different from one person to the other.
