Bundled diamonds are dual-sided, one side is coarser than others. Three stones have a total of six grits. It is a little bit tricky to identify grits. You can find identification marks on the side face. The mark is grit specified in FEPA-F scale with arrow symbol facing to the corresponding surface. A finer side is always copper colored.
All diamonds are bonded, not coated. It means you can clean, refresh, flatten and lap your diamonds like any other synthetic stone.
It's recommended to use water as a lubricant to prevent stone loading.
