Maruoyama Tenjou Uchigumori
210 x 80 x 20
This stone is a knife friendly 7/10, leaves a toothy finish sub 8k and polishes very nicely. Comes with Kiri box $400
Honyama pyjama stripe iromono
205 x 79 x 47!!
This one is harder than it looks where most people expect red stones to be muddy softies. This one doesn't give off much mud but is still polish friendly. As a vintage stone it's benefited from a good lapping to open it up and leaves keen non-slippy edge for the kitchen. $400
Ultra Uchigumori
210 x 78 x 58
Purple, with green highlights. A vast field of Renge waiting to be lapped into existence as you can see from difference in photos 1 & 2. It's very hard and maybe not the stone for your first foray into jnats and it makes you work for it before it starts to play nice but then everything clicks and it does amazing things to polishes. Leaves a sticky edge too. Heirloom stuff $800
Namazu 1
210 x 78 x 32
This stone and the next are an abject lesson in how individual stones can be. They look like brothers with some subtle differences in colouring but they are remarkably different. This one is harder. You will get mud but you need to work for it a little. It leaves a shiny polish and an edge on the finer edge of the spectrum. Army green with yellowish namazu. 7.5/10 $350

Squelch monster!!! Muddy, soft, polishers dream, finished my red handled Fujiwara Maboroshi on it. 6/10 hardness

There's a couple more but it'll take me a little while to type up on the phone
