    Default Vintage natural combo coticule







    About a week ago I acuired this coticule from a fleamarket. It's a vintage coticule, but it's a natural combo as it isn't glued. The BBW is 13 mm thick and the coti side is 5 mm thick. Also the 'cracks' you see in the stone aren't really cracks, it's just how it looks and it looks good.


    Cheers
    Dimitry

    Very pretty. The top looks like ivory.

    Nice find. As long as you do not go slurry crazy, that coticule should last your lifetime at least.

    Nice find, those "cracks" are magnesium lines. Usually indicates a fast stone.
