Some hard stones can have small holes like that but they are not su. I have an Ozuko like that, it is very hard and very very fine finisher.

It seems to me that such a stones with such coloration and such "suji" ( 筋 ) are rather so called "deep stratum", than suita.



BTW here it is the example of ordinary Oohira Tomae with small holes AKA "su" ( 巣 ): Oohira Tomae

And here it is some examples of Ozuku Suita stones:
