Hi All,
I've heard much about these vintage coticules having a garnet content of 70% or more!
I wonder how these would perform generally?
I would imagine they are very fast cutters and exellent polishers but so are most coticules I can't imagine they would create a better edge than recently mined ones. Just maybe you get that edge quicker.
These vintage stones tend to carry a high price tag too. Is that because of the collectability or do they outperform our treasures of the Ardennes?
If anyone one has had experience with these high garnet content vintage stones I would be very interested in their opinions.
Karl
