Coticule, La Petite Blanche

Name: Coticule, La Petite Blanche
Provenance: Vielsalm, BE
Geology: Medium-grade metamorphic stone
Composition: Indurated clay, spessartine, quartz
Use case: Sharpening, Honing
Grit size: 1k-8k
Hardness: 4.5/5
Cutting speed: 4.5/5
Feedback: 4.5/5
Very similar to Latneuses, this stone is very versatile but works at a slightly lower grit range.
It contains more visible crystals which make the stone feel slightly less grippy. The difference is quite small.
