Identifying a random Japanese Natural stone
Hi guys- I bought this stone last week. It's 3"+ by 7" It's a waterstone puttied into an old pine base. It leaves a hazy mirror finish with scratches in it. Is it possible to identify a stone like this, or should I just leave well enough alone? I am assuming that its Japanese and it slurries relatively easily. The black is in the stone and doesnt seem to affect anything.

looks like a Jnat, but it has to be lapped and the sides cleaned to tell for sure.
Just by looking at a Jnat it is impossible to say what the mine or strata of origin is.

Stone is pretty much lapped... Its got a ding and a nick, etc in the surface but im not going to lap 1/16 off of it just for that. Ill scrub the sides down in a bit...

Here is slurried.
i did it with no pressure with a very worn blue DMT it was a little reluctant to give it up but not nearly as hard as a soft arkansas
