€40 for a Ozuku Traveler from Maxim207, mine is 140x40mm, killer deal.

Okay, I have to modify that reply, I put on a pencil grid on the C-Nat and ran it on the DMT 325 to check how flat it really was, and a circle formed in the middle, clearly it wasn't flat at all. 2 hours later on the DMT it's finally flat....:rant:
I'll save the BBW polishing for another day.... :)
Here's mine, pictured with the BBW side of a coticule. Mine is pretty much dark grey.
Just like my J-Nat, it's reflective when you look at the surface at around a 10º angle.

Now the flash makes it looks ragged as hell, but the stone is super smooth. What those white lines are, I have no idea.
Yes, I understand it is a natural stone, but they get flattened a bit
before they are sold.
Those little white dots, I have had that with other stone when I used loose
grit or sometimes sandpaper to flatten them. They would embed themselves
and it would take about an hour with a poor diamond plate to create new layer.
Then these spots would disappear.
You could be right though and it be natural, but it looks like somebody used a
brush with some white paint, does not look natural to me.
