From the way I recall Rob Cellis' explanation to me last year, a Kosher or "Kosjer" coticule is one that has a perfectly uniform appearance of the coticule stone (all one color rather than having any inclusions, cracks or veins of iron oxide and the like just as Jimmy's second tiger striped coticule does in the same picture). Rob also said that when viewed from the side, a Kosher coticule will not have a varied coticule thickness but will be uniform in thickness.

Nice Tiger Striped coticule, Jimmy! It looks similar to mine. You need to post these in the Belgian Brotherhood thread if you haven't already.
