    Default ID Help with some Jnat stones

    Hello,
    Some weeks ago I received along with some straights, these stones.
    Does anyone know anything about them? I only tried the biggest one, making some slurry with the smallest of the three.
    Thanks in advance!

    Are your in Tokyo. Is there a chance that you can ask your seller something about them? Notice how the background towels affect the way the color of the stones appears. Try using a light netural gray background so from shot to shot your camera can key in on the background. Is the slurry when wet sort of buff or light color? Does it dry white?

    Alex thank you very much for your advices.
    I sent a message to the seller of these stones, but he doesn't know anything.
    He just said to me he took them to an old barber shop. At least we know they have been used by a barber and not by a sushi-chef
    I'll try to make new pics with a neutral grey background and post them as soon as I can.
    Thanks again!

    Nashiji?
    I don't have a grey towel can I try with a white background and set up the white balance on it, with my reflex?

    Thanks again for the support!

    Hello,
    I got a new stone today, It seems to me the same kind of stone of the one in my previous message. I know for sure that this one is a Aiiwatani, at least it's what the seller said to me.
    What do you guys think? Can it be the same one?
    This one seems to have a layer attached on the top of the stone, the other one looks like a unique block.

    Sorry for the poor pics quality, and thanks a lot!
