My La Dressante au Bleu has a bruise looking spot on it. I should get some pics of them wet, the colours stand out a lot better that way.
Ah... nice. I like that one.

My prettiest coti at the moment is my Old Hickory Hone.
Wow... that one has a lot of personality. I like it.
I should have added a side view... the blue/black spots which I think are what people refer to as "nails", are actually orbs as far as I can tell. They exist as circular spots on the sides as well. Really interesting rock.
La Veine aux Clous is different and looks different. You would not see hones made from this layer. See http://www.coticule.be/the-cafeteria/topic/548.html. It is only really possible to definitely identify stones from the mine Ardennes-Coticule currently exploits.
Those spots on the stone are found in different varieties and are found in many veins. They are not a good first indicator of the vein origin.
I wonder how much my 175mm x 40mm Pike natural combo (very thick coticule layer) in a wooden box would be worth these days. Although, I'm never selling it, so that's not really an important question anyway.
My prettiest coti at the moment is my Old Hickory Hone. I overpaid a crazy price (at the time) for it on eBay about 8 months ago... if I sold it today, I'd make a big profit. (The price on boxed vintage (Pike/Old Rock/Etc) coticules has gone insane. A 6x2" sold for close to 200$ a few weeks ago.)
Yes that's the price tag and it cost $0.78 new.
whoo hoo My VERY well wrapped La Dressante natural combo and slurry stone that I purchased from Jarrod arrived today.
Nice... show it off man.
You will just have to leave work early or quit you job. This is important!I plan to. Just have to get home first. This could be a really long day.

I did something close that. I "borrowed" the company car and went and got the package.
