    Default $5 find

    I found this today. Brought it home, lapped it, and now I think I did OK. It looks like a combination blue / yellow coticule. I just really want to know since I have $5 invested. I wonder If I should demand a refund?

    Great!

    Yes, it definitely looks like a coticule. Where do you guys find these deals...

    Cheers

    It's not a natural combo stone. You can see where they are glued together, and you can recognize the slate on the back of the yellow side, but it is definitely a blue-yellow man made combo.

    how large is it?

    But regardless of size, this is one hell of a deal.
    Even a 4x1.2" yellow only would cost 28$ or so.

    I have a natural yellow-blue 6x1.5 that set me back 65 euros.

    Oh, in case you want to get a refund, let me know. There will will be a customary 15% restocking bonus and I will cover the tracked shipping to me
