I would refer to it as a C15k, but I don't want to be e-drawn and e-quartered. I am a newb and I did not want to pay alot for this muffler, err hone.

I'm going to start another thread with pics of mine and some questions, if you could look for it and chime in, I would be much obliged.

As far as I understand the stone does not resemble the one on the photo. It needs serious lapping including geometry. Isn't it?

Every new stone needs lapping. Geometry normally isn't an issue with hones. There isn't a hard and fast rule that says hones need to be square. Deal with enough low end coticules and you'll see that. I haven't put a blade to it yet, so I can't speak to alleged 15000 grit.
