Thanks

Yes definitely. The problem is finding which one. That might require time, money, and or luck. Might be the first one you ever get. If you get a good one and you're satisfied with it don't chase after a better one and you'll save time and money. OTOH, if you don't get one that satisfies you, you'll just have to keep looking till you do. Here are some that belong to a friend of mine that is looking for the "right" one.

Well, luckily I am already considered slightly mad so no one thinks anything of me laughing out loud at a stack of rocks at work. Pretty funny, thanks.

Been there, Done that. What Jimmy's saying is true. Some guys get lucky, or claim they get lucky out of the gate, and get a good Coticule.
Other's buy, and buy and buy much to the delight of seller's. Years ago, we had a few good one's out there, that took care of you, now we have
the Mega mart Coticule seller's. You used to contact a guy, like Howard at the perfect edge, and he sent you a selected grade Coticule, period.

You can go to sites, look at hundreds and hundreds of pics of Coticules, and get confused. I was taught a long time ago, "Never give people more than 3 choices" it's hard for them to make up their minds. Some people love this, to the new guy it's daunting.

Good veins to look for are Dressante, La petite blance, Grosse blance, and some like this hybrid Les Latneuse? Not sure about the last one. This is all subjective too, because they're are differences in the veins. I might get a fast La petite, and you could get a slow one....

There's a Coti on the classifieds right now for 60.00, for that price, you can't go wrong....

Veins I don't like, La Grise, Here's some eye candy, and that's not all of them. Which one do I like, Top pic, Forth from the left, it's a Dressante. To me, it's a good all around stone.

I'm a little light headed now. The mystery deepens as things become more clear. I really like looking at pics of these rocks. Thank you. Thank-you a lot!
