Coticule love... show off your rock

Good looking stones. Solid examples of good La Grise stones.
I keep waiting for someone to post a pic of that big chunky coti that sold on the bay last week. That was a really nice stone...hope it went to someone here.

I had a bid in on it too. Somebody wanted it more than I did.
Any guesses ???
Coticule of unknown origin
glued to bbw
Manganese lines running through it... Was brownish before lapping (should have taken pic) but the brown looked like just age or varnish leaked onto the stone from the wood frame it was in
Hardly gives up slurry, moderate to fast on slurry slow on water... Very glassy feeling to coti
5x1.25

Very nice. I tried to buy this one along with the one he labeled as super fast he had but he wanted too much for me. I had planned on trying to win at least one of them but put the funds into a kamisori before I had a chance.
EDIT: I just checked again and the stone I looked into is actually a different one but it has a very similar dark manganese line running straight up the stone.

I have a very similar looking hone that gives beautiful edges
Tried it out last night.... I would say it's moderate fast (using my les lat as a guide)... The edge was on par with my la dressante... Still needed my thuri to refine it a bit more... I like my les lat edges better I think.... This stone isn't mine but I think I'm gonna offer to buy it off the guy... I have three of these 5x1 and a fourth would be nice ;-)

Very nice combo.
Vere interesting stone, David! I love the "cow-like" patterning on the BBW side!!
thanks, JP! It's been a while....good to hear from you!
Nice BBCow. Very cool rock.
Thanks!! Nice to see you here too!! I had a stretch there where I was traveling nonstop for work....I would get back to my hotel room, do a million work emails, then I'd be too exhausted to post.....Then, I just sort of fell into the habit of not posting...anyway it's good to be back!! I have not lost interest in the hobby one bit, I just 'disappeared' for a while.....
How's that spotted dressante treating you (if you still have it)?
Still have it! It's great man I'm really enjoying using it. I posted pics of it here a while back. It's by far my favorite coti.Thanks!! Nice to see you here too!!

Did a B&B member win this hone?

It has such an interesting surface I wanted to give it a try. Would love to hear about it if one of our guys won it.

A generous B&B member responded to my recent post - a WTB for a 6"x2" Les Latneuses coticule. I jumped at his offer and I am glad I did.
It may look familiar to some B&B members as is has been around a little bit. Now that I've had a chance to run a few blades over it, I can say for sure it's found a home for good.
The top has a red blush to it and provides a satisfying 'sweeping' sound during honing. The hybrid side is damn hard so it provides almost no sound. The thing that got my attention was how it grabs the blade while using water only. Not skipping or sticky more like a suction.
The shaves have been extremely good. I've used several coticules in recent years, no expert that's for sure, but this guy is above them all. It gives that legendary coticule edge - squeegee-like without fear of cuts.

The hybrid side has a magnetic feel I no it very well, I used mine for a long time, I only ever used the hybrid side with dilucot method, I got very keen edges very easy, nice little stone.
