Yeahh, not using the preferred nomenclature but that's what i meant.

As for the images of the hone, here they are...


Regarding "wanting it to be true" I guess that's up to each person. It looked good in the images available to me, certainly wasn't any 'too good to be true' deal, so I figured I was safe with the buy.
You can't see it in the pictures but the stone was held down with a piece of 3M tape, and the nicks in the bottom of the stone do not match the stone fragments left behind in the box from the original stone being removed.
I do believe that the box and label might be authentic, but the stone itself is rubbish... which is all I really care about tbh.
