I got it through a friend who bought it from So Yamash!ta a couple of years ago. He is very busy the past year with work and familial obligations so decided to offer it to me.

The photos are his. It is 6" long and 3 3/4 at the widest point tapering to 2 3/4 towards the end and 5/8" thick. It seems to be very hard and relatively slow but fine. So hard that I found it difficult to generate slurry with the credit card sized 325 DMT but I got enough to work with it a bit.

I did X strokes with three razors that were already shaving well and it did improve the edges. Just preliminary fooling with it. I intend to use my GDLP for the slurry creation next time I mess with it. That will be soon and I will let you know what I come up with. Same as everyone else I guess. Put some water on a hone and do x strokes, TPT, and so on until you think it is "there" and shave test. No magic, just practice and more practice.
