Finally got the last of it all in, stones I picked up over the last month or so.

Nice haul
I want to learn what you all do for work. I apparently need to change jobs to keep up.
Here’s my “collection”.
I picked up the small one from @Wid on the BST. I started learning and experimenting and finally thought I was ready for another one.
The larger Coti is from GSGs.
Both put on nice edges. I like how they are different. The smaller one is a bit faster and the bigger one seems a little finer.
Both are keepers and among my favorite hones to use.

If the couple minute initial test run on water and the HHT are any indicators…this is going to be a complete unicorn! The last picture is next to his fraternal twin!

Oof
I have one a little bit bigger with yellow label that was NOS with stamps…it’s a nice razor hone! I think you will be pleased! Congrats!
175 x 50 La Grosse Jaune (The Big Yellow) from yesterday's trip to Ardennes-Coticule. The stone feels very fine.
A childhood friend, his partner and I visited Ardennes-Coticule yesterday on an absolutely beautiful day. Rob took us on a tour of the quarry and workshop during which Rob generously shared a wealth of information about Coticules and the larger quarrying operation. Needless to say, I learned a lot. After I return home, I will post more pics with some explanations.
The visit was an absolute blast!

Nice Backdrop, Coticule Cathedral
Very nice Frank. Rob had said they would be mining that layer soon. Good to see and can’t wait to see what your thoughts are on this vein.
My wife said I was doing so good at not buying stones, now they seem to be multiplying again. Funny how that works.
Picked up a few. A couple small natural combos and a nice barbers size natural combo.
