Thread: Japanese natural hone help!!!

[QUOTE=Brighty83;833423]I sent an e-mail with the photo below to the seller and he said that its normal for bits of the stone to break off with you fingernail and for the to be huge pits in the stone! he said layers are good!

I think it is a sorry deal, the seller should provide you with a full refund. This seller is ink stamping all of his own stones, these stamps are not from the miner (although it is reported that your seller in this case, Nakaoka-san, is running a mine of some sorts), so there should not be any type of restocking fee regarding the loss of the stamps or of the minimal amount of lapping you have done.

I am curious, was this stone purchased off of e-bay? What were the refund terms up front? Alx
