I think it's interesting to see a coticule that appears to be of older production bonded to slate.

Keep the natural and sell the bonded coticule. Soft coticules are great for razors as well.

Chris, I have two 1x6 vintage coticules backed by slate. They both seem to be the same kind of vein very very soft. Look slightly different, one is kind of like watercolors and the other is more like tiny brownish needle spots. If you want you can borrow one or both of them.

So, what about the turd, I mean third stone?
