    Yeah wet vs dry without proper lightning can do that.
    Also in the wet shot the stone is turned around, if you look closely you will see the clouding is identical.

    This is one of my favorite stones, super fine grit Lv5+, quite hard but not over cooked Lv5.

    Well this is probably my rarest stone. Any pre-20th century dug Shinden kiita is exceeding difficult to locate. Shinden of course was closed early on and this stone was fitted up or precessed in the Meiji era or the late Edo period. Kiita are not all created softer, and this one is not, it is a fairly hard stone in the Lv5- range. The color of the wet stone in the photo is actual as you can judge by my netural background which I like to use as per Ansel Adams. Nakayama was famous for their kiita but the other nearby mines also had their share of kiita stone. I feel very fortunate to have found a rock from the early era. Some will say that "heck all these stone are old", this is geologically correct. But just as with the Coticules mines, the quality of stone in and of the early diggings was unique, and I doubt that anyone will dispute this. The same with the Honyama area. Alx

    Here is another stone from my bottom shelf (less far to fall in an earthquake) private collection. A pre-20th century Nakayama gousa from the deep tomae or asia layer. Hand sawn sides using a noko, one or two man saw, this stone is not square nor is it flat on the back. Medium hard & very fine leaving bright edges on hard steel, hazy surfaces of wrought iron. Alx
