I went over my monthly budget so here is a rock for sale.
I bought this from a forum member, nutmeg, a couple of years ago so the stone is high-quality. I'm still a novice when it comes to using natural stones so ill repeat what Nutmeg wrote about this stone.

"I've had more than 600 Jnats and still can't tell hardness because it is often mixed with the grain size and the density of the stone, but I'd say LV3 if it helps.
You'll be able to enjoy it for decades but to me, this is the kind of perfect first Jnat: You can apply much pressure, little pressure, use much water, little water.. the results are almost always the same. Clean and consistent with high contrast"

The specs are 193*69*22mm and it weighs 705 grams. I bought it for $350 and selling it for $300 CONUS.
Thanks for looking.

Beautiful stone, out of curiosity, can a stone be a suita and an uchigumori? I thought they were two separate layers. Is this the same as an uchi with su(I have one similar if so) @ethompson maybe you could help explain for me if OP doesn't know?
