I will take a picture of mine when I can. Its a small stone but a most excellent finisher. They definitely do exist. Now the light might not transmit all the way through like a white translucent but it will go through a 1/4 to 1/2 inch through. It feels very different from a regular translucent and a regular black stone does. More dense I would say. much more dense.
Edit: Here we go. So as you can see, the light doesn't go though all the way and real not even that much but that is a 1 in thick stone.

Yep, mine is exactly like that - mine is 1" x 3" x10" and the light goes through pretty much exactly like yours.
Here's one

That one's unique! Mine has a few of those black spots and a black streak on one side, and a spot/patch of brown on the other.
The white marks are not scratches, they are translucent patches. The stone is perfectly smooth.
It is as fine as my Translucents or Blacks.
Here are my arks..

1095...gotta quench it FAST!!!
That's not an edge reflection. The light source is inside the edge. For it to be a reflection the light would have to be outside, past the edge of the stone. It is translucent, the same as mine is.
