Hey all! I've been around for a while (here and on SRP) and finally got around to taking a few pics of my coticules. Would love to get some kind of ID on them if possible. They are all natural Combo stones. Enjoy the pics and many thanks!
Coticule 1: Got this off Ebay. It's a natural combo that's ~1.25" thick. Has some beautiful coloring to it ranging from a pale yellow to caramel in spots.
Coticule 2: This one I haven't really experimented with a whole lot. With water, it doesn't seem to produce an edge as nice as coticule 3 below, but I feel it is faster, as the slurry darkens much faster. The pictures might not show it well, but it has some nice red/pink coloring to it.
and a side view...
Coticule 3: This was my first, and I have to say it is my favorite. It is paler yellow than Coticule 1, and I believe gives the smoothest edge of the 3 I have at the moment. With just water it will produce a very nice edge in my limited experience with a coti.
and a side view...
Slurry stones: The triangular one is a very light yellow, and the other is a grey color.
Group shot: Just a shot of them all together to compare.
Sorry for being pic heavy!
