I picked up a really nice Jnat recently and originally thought it was just Asagi and mostly green. As I started honing on it I noticed an almost 3D effect with veins and hues of red and purple when it is wet. There is also a faint stamp on the end that I can't make out but it is there and not covered by lacquer.

In conversation with the previous owner he called it a "Shou Hon Yama Awase -Do" and said the stamp has significance. I am researching but I thought I would ask here.

This stone is a totally different experience than my other Jnats (Okudo Asagi and Shobudani 100) it is hard to describe but the word that comes to mind is "luxury" did I pick up an exceptional stone or am I just in love with it?
