Selling a few stones that have been in my stone closet for a long time. Mostly just koppa.
1) Shobudani with Namazu (155×91×22mm) - Something around a 4 in hardness, but gentle polish common with Shobudani. Typical Shobu finish. $175+SH
2) Nakayama Olive Green Tomae (153×125×28mm longest measurements) -
This is a harder stone best left for removing burrs or shaving, and or final polish. I got this specifically from Keith V. Johnson who also lacquered the hell out of it. Of course I still managed to polish this kiridashi carefully without any scratches. YMMV. Has a slight surface crack on one side that seems harmless and was insignificant enough seemingly that Keith never mentioned it. Hasn't posed any problems.
$200+SH
3) Hakka Suita from Tanaka (195×72×32mm longest measurements) -
This is a good example of Hakka Suita. Dual sided. It has lovely coloring and the polish is a solid 6-7k. Nice and finer side of frosty. I've used this on numerous occasions to convert my synthetic scratches to naturals, but now I have a huge brick of Okudo that does that job. Line is harmless, polished over it to demonstrate. The dots that go through the stone are su pockets. After lapping I make sure to rinse them well to avoid crunchies. Sets up well for finer suita.
