    Default New natural.

    I received what I thought was a vintage coticule several weeks ago. This assumption based on the shape, it being set into a hand carved paddle in addition to its pre-lapped dirty yellow colour. Upon lapping, it revealed blotches akin to army camouflage, the slurry turing the colour of stone. Although it appears white in the pictures, the slurry is in fact the colour of the stone when it gets thick enough.

    I'm not sure if this is a Thurry or a Schwedenstein. I consider the latter as it is very thin as are all Schwedensteins, and blotched, though it could be something else entirely. I have shown it next to my Schwedenstein in one of the pics. Either way, it's a nice finisher though I need to test it out more. I highly doubt it is a coticule. Opinions are welcomed

    Interesting stone, Scipio!

    Not sure what it is, but I do have a les latneuses composite coticule that looks a bit similar. It is hard and gives an edge unlike that you would associate with most coticules.

    Regards,

    Thanks Neil. I hadn't considered that it may be a hybrid coticule. It isn't any harder than a coticule or Thuringian or if it is, it is not noticeable.

    It looks like a Coticule to me. These 3 Coticules I have look similar and produce funky coloured slurry as well. I backed two of them with slate.

    Congratulations Scipio it’s a good looking stone. I would say a coticule too. Some coti’s have a prominent layering effect. As the surface wears down you expose different strata coloration and grit..

    If the crossbreeding in incomplete, is it considered cotis interruptus?
