Thread: So how exactly are the Coticule stones which we all love so much produced?

Is it true, how to know which one we have? Does the color indicate which one ?
Does it change something in the use of the stones?

There are indeed harder and softer Coticule stones. It all depends on the composition of the particular Coticule vein of which the stone comes from. We know from our experience which vein is which and I'm writing an article about it (I need to finish this, it has almost been a year since I started writing ).
But more to come about this subject! Give me some weeks and I'll post more about our Coticule grading system and the different veins we are quarrying!
(I have a Kosher Coticule which is so soft that when scratching the surface with your finger nail you are peeling mm's of Coticule)
