Allow me to present this La Verte.
It measures some 20.5*6,0*1,5 centimeters and is a piece of solid coticule.
It was picked up,in person,by a well known Belgian guy. Story tells that,this guy and his friend,went to look for coticule remains at an old and abandoned mine (amongst other places) at Tier Du Mont.Amongst many others,this one was picked up.It was later cut by an gravestone carver.
It is lime green in colour and very slow. Because of mineral inclutions,only one side is functional. It does have a very "coarse" sound and feel,yet it is very very hard and slow. Slurry takes bundles of time to build up,but the results are a very crispy edges.Not at all what you would expect from the rough abbrasive feel.
Since harvesting,it has traveled to Japan and now to Denmark.
