摘要

— The coticule is an Ordovicicm aged metamorphic rock only present in the southern part of the Stavelot Massif in the towns of Vielsalm and Lierneux. It appears in centimeter thick layers consisting in micrometric crystals of spessartite, microphyllites of micas, infra micrometer quartz. Its exceptional metal sharpening properties (razor sharp thin, sharp broad, sharp curve) gave its reputation of a natural abrasive stone and a global distribution (barber, circumciser, surgeon, butcher, carpenter, cabinetmaker, arborist, gardener, winemaker, tanner, coachbuilder...). Exploited and shaped since the 16th century, the coticule was exported as a whetstone (a.k.a. razor stone), the "bouts belges" and to special shapes. It was operated by craftsmen, primarily from the surface in open pits, in trenches and then by underground galleries, following the evolution of mining techniques of lighting and drainage. The material was sawn, adjusted to standard sizes and polished by the quarry workers and further then in small workshops. The high number of models, the various steps entirely manual, the low yield (2-5%), competition from synthetic stones, and the disappearance of part of the customer after the Second World War sounded the death knell of this unique activity. Located in Lierneux, a quarry today still operates the coticule and most of its production is exported to the United States of America. The old mining galleries are nowadays the winter refuge of bats populations. They are considered as cavities of scientific interest. Finally, the Museum of the Coticule in Salmchateau (Vielsalm) presents this manufacturing industry with a global destiny.
